  11% alcohol, 20 g/l residual sugar, 5,4 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.
  
  Quite pale yellow-green color. Somewhat vague nose with very reticent aromas of white peach and something waxy. The wine really doesn't smell much. On the palate it is medium-bodied, medium-sweet and quite focused with pure flavors of ripe citrus fruits, red apples, some candied gummi bear notes and a hint of herbal character. The high acidity gives the wine good freshness and sets off some of the sweetness nicely. The finish is medium-sweet, medium-long and fresh with flavors of white peach, some red apple and a hint of herbal spice.
  
  A much better wine than what I expected. When you see a wine that's "medium-sweet Müller-Thurgau", you automatically expect it to be lousy, but having tasted this blind, this one performed a lot better than I thought it would. This is not an interesting or memorable wine by any means, but the flavors are pure, the wine tastes fresh and the sweetness doesn't come across as excessive - at least when the wine is served cool enough. A well-made, simple wine for people who prefer to have some sweetness in their whites. Priced according to its quality at 9,99€.
