  April 4, 2015 - Yummy. Rather sweet on the palate but with an acididty to back it up. Rich, tropical fruit that is still full of energy. Last bottle of the vintage unfortunately. An outstanding entry level riesling.

  October 24, 2014 - Great mineral notes slipping through the rich but balanced tropical fruit. Also some petroleum in the sweet, juicy finish. This is a great wine on this level and we choose to finish our remaining bottles rather soon while the fruit is still intact and the acidity is still high.

  January 4, 2013 - A solid basic Riesling from Willi and a decent value, up against the entry level Donnhoff bottlings. A bit of tropical fruit with a medium mouthfeel from residual sugars, but not too sweet. Just a hint of acid on the back end but it could perhaps use a touch more. Otherwise hard to complain... this went down like water.

  September 10, 2012 - One of several bottles tried with a grill roasted suckling pig, but the only Riesling. Sharp and tart, plenty of aroma and great taste of citrus, apple, and other bright fruit. The wine and the light smokiness of the meat were an almost perfect match. Far and away the best choice for this meal.
