Tasting at Weingut Vollenweider (Traben-Trarbach, Germany): The nose is full of botrytis driven honey covering grilled peaches. The sweetness is backed by suggestions of minerality. The color is quite light, but it shows a great depth of character on the nose which begs you to dive in. Limes with a mineral water zip greet your palate, and lovely apple flavors roll in on the mid palate. The mouth feel continually becomes more and more full as the apples evolve again into the honeyed peaches suggested on the nose and the mineral flavors become more intense. This makes the eyes roll back! Despite these powerful flavors, the acidity keeps the experience crisp and mouth watering and all of the flavors run out with fantastic length.
