Medium yellow colored with nose of passionfruit, lime and mineral.
On the palate, passionfruit, lime, mineral and a hint of peach. Interesting in that the nose suggests sweetness but tastes dry; if there is residual sugar, it's scant. Nice weight and crisp acidity with a lingering finish. 12.5%abv.

This VDP vineyard was unknown to me and I was quite impressed. Complex Riesling with multiple layers of stonefruit, pear, minerals, and petrol. Improved even further in the glass during the evening. Long finish.
This was the fourth out of six bottles of a very nice private German Riesling tasting with vintages from 1971 to 2013.

Bright, cut and spicy nose - minerals, passion fruit, lime. Crisp citrus on the palate with more lime and passion fruit. The mineralty is there as well. Light and clear. The finish is tart citrus and a bit screechy. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 4/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 - 15/20.

Apricot, honey, very pretty riesling nose. Very nicely structured, bracing acid but substantial body (alc 12.5%). Trocken, but tart sweet fruit on the palate. Paired with grilled sausages and mild goat cheese.

Not enough light outside to comment on color. Apricot, honey, and lime on the nose. Beautiful bright acidity shines through with stone, petrol, and honeydew rounding out this terrific wine. I thoroughly enjoyed this. A new benchmark for me with respect to riesling.
