"Tangerine and lemon return in the 2006 Monzinger Fruhlingsplatzchen Riesling Spatlese trocken, accompanied by pungent herbal suggestions. Talk about âclarityâ and âmineralityâ in Riesling should become clear if you just attend to a glass of this. Bright, diverse citrus fruits, pungent herbs, and ripe but tart red berries are backed by saline, crushed stone in a supremely refreshing, juicy, dynamic matrix. For all of its treble and seemingly high vitamin C personality, this wine has stuffing, indeed a palpable sense of extract. Typical for well-balanced and versatile examples of trocken German Riesling, it approaches the upper limit allowed by law. Only the strong-willed or those allergic to acidity in wine could possibly resist downing a glass of this on a warm day and asking for the next. But it will also be a fascinating accompaniment for diverse cuisine. . ."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
