  Alcohol 14,2%, residual sugar 2,9 g/l and acidity 8,7 g/l. Total SO2 77 mg/l.
  
  Medium-deep yellow-green color. Cool, ripe yet not particularly sweet nose with aromas of lemon marmalade, some developed beeswax tones, curios light notes of peppermint, a little bit of wet stone minerality and a hint of white peach. The wine is lively, medium-bodied and quite sleek on the palate with flavors of spicy red apples, some developed notes of almonds, light mineral notes of wet stones and tangy salinity, a hint of greengage and a touch of beexwax. The high acidity lends great freshness, structure and intensity to the wine. The finish is lively, somewhat developed and balanced with long flavors of white peach, some sweet golden apples, a little bit of spicy minerality, light notes of wet stones and a hint of zesty citrus fruits.
  
  A juicy, harmonious and vibrant Rangen Riesling with good sense of depth, ccomplexity and intensity. The wine seems to be in a very nice phase at the moment, slowly gliding into its optimal drinking window. Most likely not at its peak now or in near future, but the overall feel is already somewhat developed, not young anymore. Drink or keep. Delightful stuff and great value at 23€. Recommended.

  一开始很浓郁的甜水果味道，让人误以为是甜白，略微醒酒后花香开始明显起来。
