Wines with old and young sheep's milk cheese: Pale gold- chilled for three hours before serving. Expressive nose showing apricot and citrus. Wonderfully bright palate although plenty of austerity/minerality is present. Light bodied with lime, grapefruit and some green herbs. Extremely high acidity. Refeshing one with a bright, citrusy finish.
With the cheeses, quite complex. Brought out an herbal austerity with both. Complex and confounding. The wine showed some effervescence when paired with the cheese and the flavors morphed to an extreme herbal/ austere area with tons of minerality on the finish.

(Stein Blauschiefer Riesling Trocken) This is the type of dry Riesling I would love to see more in the US at stores or on restaurant wine lists. 10.5% alcohol and minimal amounts of residual sugar. Lovely aromas strawberriess, blue slate, mineral and some yeast. The palate is racy and mineral with wonderful inner mouth minerality. Focused and linear with a nice mid palate and long finish. Excellent complexity yet so easy to drink.

Light in body and flavor. Refreshing with lively acidity. Aromas of fruit, slate and rocks. A hint of saltiness.
