Amber blonde; a blend of several seed fruits, with strawberry the king. Intense, but not over powering...in fact every facet of this offering did not stand out, but rather the seamless balance of berry fruit mousse; lemony acid; a mere hint of sweetness and tartness...every component plays a supporting role evolving into a pleasure to drink. A statement wine for the Riesling grape.

Faint blueberry, septic tank aroma in latter stages of fermentation. Disjointed flavours resembling darker fruits, perhaps on the wane. After one hour decanting, reminds me of tasting makeup the following morning.

Pure apricot nectar without the pulp, since mouth feel is light to medium weight, not cloying, nor sweet. Lingering apricot bouquet, beguiling wine. Well preserved for 375 bt.
