  10,5% alcohol.
  
  Pale, limpid whitish-green color. Ripe, sweet-toned and slightly candied nose with rich and somewhat primary aromas of gummi bears, pear and some pear drops, a little bit of white fruit, light mineral notes of steel and a hint of petrol. The wine is clean, off-dry and surprisingly mellow on the palate with flavors of lemon marmalade and ripe, sweet citrus fruits, some tart key lime, a little bit of tangy salinity, a hint of pithy pomelo and a touch of steely minerality. The wine is crisp with high acidity, yet it seems to be lacking some focus and intensity. The finish is crisp, dry-ish and relatively short with light flavors of ripe citrus fruits, some tart key lime, a little bit of tangy green apple and a hint of salinity.
  
  A fresh yet mellow Riesling with ripe and rather linear fruit profile. Although quite balanced, it feels like the wine is lacking in intensity and precision. Doesn't manage to leave a lasting impression. Meh.
