$32.50 Cdn
8.5% alcohol
Light straw yellow in color.
Green apple and lime dominate the nose with hints of floral, pineapple and honey.
Citrus Green Apple explodes in the mouth with pleasant fruity-floral mid-palate. This wine has a very long finish with green apple/pineapple with hint of honey.

This Middle Mosel wine is a delicate effort that is a little citrus'y right out of the bottle, but does smooth out after an hour or so.
I'm not sure how much life this wine would have in the cellar, or how much it will improve with age.

This wine is a winner.

Tyee,

Thanks for the TN. Do you have any opinion on a rating?

VM...with my lack of experience I tend to shy away from giving a rating.

However, I can say with some confidence that this wine is high 80's - low 90's (probably 90+).

Now that my wife has fallen in love with German Rieslings, I am looking forward to experiencing and learning more about them.
