Tasted blind. Clear, day bright, medium straw with some green hues and rim variation. There is medium staining and medium legs. The nose is clean, medium (+) in intensity and youthful, with aromas of citrus, stone fruit, petrol and some sweet spice. The palate is off-dry, with apple, pear, lime, peach, apricot and some stony minerality on the finish. The alcohol is medium, the acidity is medium (+) - as is the body, length of the finish and the complexity. This is a very distinctive white and is likely to increase in complexity over the next several years.

The nose showed a light spritz of lemon and lime with moist minerals and hints of fresh cut grass. On the palate there was a striking cut of acidity, lending tremendous freshness and a mouthwatering quality, which nearly masked it's ripe fruit; yet the fruit was still there and quite enjoyable. Peach, cherry and citrus notes lingered on the palate with stony minerals as the mouth continued to water. It was fresh and fruity with great minerality, a great QPR--what more could I ask for?

High alcoholic-taste at the begining. Much better an hour after. Golden yellow in color. Flower on nose. Crispy and refreshing with apple, honey, pear, citrus and hints of petrol in palate. Off dry. Sweet finish. Great value.

Hat mir beim zweiten mal wesentlich besser geschmeckt als beim ersten Mal. Die Frucht war ein harmonisches Ensemble aus Zitrusfrüchten (Zitrone, Grapefruit, evtl. etwas Ananas) und der Geschmack der mich beim ersten mal gestört hat, war dieses Mal anders, besser integriert irgendwie. So passt dann auch das PLV, gut bis sehr gut.

Am zweiten Tag kommt die Riesling-typische Säure etwas besser raus, aber obwohl er eindeutig gut gemacht ist, kann er mich geschmacklich nicht überzeugen. Fazit: Guter restsüsser Riesling, eher breit angelegt, aber nicht mein Ding. PLV ok bis gut (€ 8,50).

Tastes of grapefruit and pear with nice acidity. Slightly over sweet for a Kabinett but not too over done.

Ripe, fruity, balanced off-dry riesling. Very decent quality, lacks a bit of personality.

Very well Riesling at the price point. Fruity and good balance of sweetness and acidity.

Off dry. Enough acidity to balance sweetness.

Crisp, just a touch sweet. Bolstered by acidity. Pineapple, grapefruit. A solid every day white at an incredible price. This is a fantastic value.

Notes from memory: very good quality but slightly outsized. Seemed like Riesling on HGH. Certainly could be the imprimatur of youth. I'd try again.

A bit sweet, but very good acidity with notes of honey, pear, apricot, and just a hint of mineral. Short to medium finish.

Very pale in colour with a few small bubbles. Not as sweet as most Rieslings. Crisp with apple tones.
