Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 56 pts. and median of 56 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by forceberry on 2/16/2018 & rated 56 points: 0% alcohol, 40 g/l residual sugar, 8,8 g/l acidity.

Colorless, neutral limpid whitish-green color. Horrible, repugnant nose that smells like canned cat food and cheap liverwurst. The wine is dry, acid-driven and crisp with rather dull flavors of lemon, green apples and some cat food. The finish is short and dull with somewhat unpleasant flavors of canned cat food and apples.

Horrible stuff. Without the horrible cat food notes this could've been a perfectly acceptable non-alcohol substitute for wine, but that disagreeable off aroma made the wine practically undrinkable. Steer clear. A rip-off at 9,99€. (930 views)
 Tasted by FransS on 12/26/2017: I have not rated this wine, because I found the bouquet too difficult with a kind of sweet pear and something else unidentified. The taste is dry. Overall I didn't like this wine. (610 views)

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)

Rheingau

VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info

The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions.
