  Pineapple and a mildly unpleasant metallic finish. Typical Mosel mineral nose. Better with food than alone. I would not buy again.

  11% alcohol, 14 g/l residual sugar and 6,0 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.
  
  Medium-deep yellow-green color. Vibrant, sweetish and slightly floral nose with aromas of zesty citrus fruits, some apple blossom, a little bit of honeycomb, light sappy herbal tones and a hint of spicy red apple. The wine is off-dry, fresh and medium-to-moderately full-bodied on the palate with flavors of lemony citrus fruits, some floral notes of apple blossom and other white flowers, a little bit of apple peel bitterness, light stony mineral tones and a hint of herbal spice. The high acidity lends good sense of structure to the wine, but somehow not much intensity to the taste, which comes across as a bit light and thin. The finish is long, refreshing and quite acid-driven with light, medium-dry flavors of zesty citrus, some lemon marmalade, a little bit of perfumed floral character and a hint of apple peel bitterness.
  
  A nice, fresh and balanced feinherb Riesling that is lacking a bit in intensity and vibrancy of fruit. Not a bad wine, but ultimate feels a bit dilute. Enjoyable, but nothing special to write home about. Priced somewhat according to its quality at 14,98€.

  Spiced pear, mineral,, and great acidity. After taste lasts 20-25 seconds. The label says "dry-style", but I suspect a little residual sugar for the American market. The bottles we brought back from the winery were drier.

  Was kind of hoping this would preform above its $11 price point coming from a legendary Mosel producer with likely some of the best grapes in the region. Drinks a lot like the inexpensive modest DR Loosen L Riesling. Bright, with riesling typicity and friendly for the deck.
