Community Tasting Notes (1)

  • Tasting at Weingut Vollenweider (Traben-Trarbach, Germany): When Mosel Riesling is fermented with native yest, it's common for the nose to be very stinky when finished. This character will disappear in time, but in newly released wines, it can be really strong. The nose on this wine was still dominated by the "sponty", so I didn't score the wine. This doesn't do much to the flavors though, so I made notes on them. The fruit has good flavor, and the acidity is lovely right out of the gate. Juicy apples cover the palate, and the nice acidity grows to become quite strong. Even with the nose unavailable, this is quite tasty.
