  Nose of candied apple. Apple and pear on the palate, brisk acidity, but some honey too. Great value for a 9 Euro bottle - wish I'd bought some more.

  This is showing nicely on the nose with big apple & pear up front, some floral notes pushing through too. In the mouth it is ripe and slightly tart. Lemon, green apple. It is smooth & bright but trails off quickly into a mouth-puckrering finish. Not getting the bold minerals I really like from German Riesling, but it is fresh & vibrant and quite easy to drink.

  No formal notes. Fresh with a tart finish and lots of ripe fruit notes. Good.

  Firmly acidic, with mineral, pear, apple, and tropical fruit. It's refreshing, but finishes just a little too green and tart.
