From the excellent 2015 vintage. This is a bit different from "typical" Rieslings. Light golden in color with a touch of green hues, clear and bright. The nose is mineral drive with minerality, slight lemons, and petrichor. Medium bodied. On the palate, minerality with a bit of lemons. Good acidity. Long finish. This is a wine that really needs food to shine. It would work nicely with crab or chicken salad. Drink over the next four to seven years.
Made from old vines (alte reben). Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with minerals/wet rocks, slight pineapple and a bit of diesel. Medium bodied. Some viscosity. On the palate, this is slightly sweet. Lots of minerality with a bit of pineapple and citrus (Meyer lemon?). Good acidity. Nice finish. Showing just a hint of age, this should drink well for another ten to fifteen years (at least). Nice on its own, this will work with lighter salads; a pasta salad would work well.
This is a dry Riesling from Germany. For those who "dislike" Riesling because it is sweet, this is a nice surprise. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is about minerality with "wet rocks" and some lemons and slight peach. Full bodied. Crisp but a slightly viscous texture. On the palate, lemons and minerals. Long finish. This is incredibly food friendly but a great choice would be Thai food. Drink over the next fifteen to twenty years.
Golden with green hues, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruits, and some peach. Also, minerality. Medium bodied. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, this is dry. Great acidity. Crisp. Lemons, slight peach and minerals. Deep with a nice complexity. Long finish. This is still youthful but drinking nicely. This is great on its own and will work well with a wide variety of foods. It would be great with Thai food. Drink over the next fifteen years.
Of course, this is young and tight, but this is really a great wine with plenty of upside to show. Light golden in color. What a great nose. it took some time to open and then, wow. Earthy with lemons and wet rocks. Deep and complex. On the palate, this is dry. Unlike some dry Rieslings, this doesn't even have a perception of sweetness. The earthiness it has it very interesting. Also layers of lemons and wet rocks. Great balance. Long finish. While drinking well now, this should be laid down for at least a few years. If you are going to drink now, give it plenty of air.
