". . . the palate, while soft, expansive, and overtly sweet, remains clear and refined, boasting delightful buoyancy, and with welcome hints of citrus juiciness as well as nuances of decadent lily. The overall palate impression of verbena-tinged lime chiffon glazed with quince jelly and pear drops. The finish is soothingly sustained and pulls-up just this side of excess sweetness."

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 historic Riesling region along the Rhine, producing racier, often drier wines of structure and mineral depth from south-facing slopes.
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.
