  Very solid late harvest - great QPR. Straw and baked apple and a medium lemon and apricot sorbet body. Touch of nice acidity at the end. Definitely sweet - not for those who need a dry/bone dry Riesling. Was excellent with Thai chicken stir fry. Pleased to have made this discovery and will re-order.

  Tasted at the winery. Much sweeter on the nose than the Semi-Dry, showing lots of peach and tropical notes along with some mineral qualities. Close to medium bodied (9.6% ABV) with an upfront flavor profile like a spring garden; light, airy and pretty notes of white/yellow orchard fruit, blending into more tropical qualities through the middle. Tart citrus and acidity on the backside provide the structure, but this wine does come across with a bit of sweetness. The density through the middle, couple with the more prominent tropical qualities allow the sweetness to show through the contrasting acidity behind. Should show weell for a number of additional years based on richness and acidity.
