Tasting notes
Pungently aromatic, tangy, generously juicy fresh lime and apple are mouthwateringly salt-tinged and underlain with wet stone in this archetypical dry Mosel. Firm in feel, it’s refreshingly and downright grippingly sustained. And at 11.5 percent alcohol, it manages to evince a welcome sense of buoyancy, while the innervating efficacy of its acids acts like an energizing tonic. Quite some “entry-level” Riesling!

The 2015 Riesling Trocken opens very clear and aromatic, with perfectly ripe Riesling flavors. This is a pretty powerful and aromatic Riesling with tropical fruit flavors, a certain sweetness and a good grip.
Light and delicate. A bit too dry for non Germans, I suspect. But well made. Just a little sour on the end. (JR)
