Trying this again almost 2 years later. The additional bottle age under a screw cap has probably diminished the intensity of the sweetness, and gives us a chance to more enjoy the nice natural acidity. Still plenty of mineral and wet granite type flavor enhancements. Rich golden color. Pineapple, apricot and grapefruit with orange blossom nose. Not quite a viscous as typical. The nectarine, pineapple, green apple and peach fruit tastes like it was crushed on a wet slate table. Really nice balance of honey and acid on the roof of the mouth. A slight slate type of bitterness. The finish is greatly affected by the Granny Smith apple acidity.

Yummy Riesling. Great QPR. Fruit forward with nice acidity. Enjoyed this with some extremely spicy Thai food. Nice touch of sweet with a nice dry balance. I would definitely buy this again.

Loved this & such a great price. Refreshing, & so well balanced. Light fruit & bright! Paired well with incredibly spicy food so I'd like to try again for a better tasting on its own or with lighter meal. Will definitely buy again.

Still loving this wine. Crisp green apple scent, clean, refreshing apple taste. Not too tart or sweet. So well balanced. Great summer wine!
