The acidity really comes through on this and gives an impression of being towards the drier side of halbtrocken. This was excellent with pierogi and I imagine would get along well with quite a variety of other dishes. Great for a casual dinner where you want something that will be pleasant and play nicely with others.

Nose punches out elderflower, citric acid, and buddha's hand. Flavors are electric. A wonderful combo of brazen sugar and crystalline acidity. Sharp, vivid, and snappy. Damn good value.

(Gysler Scheurebe Halbtrocken) ($16.00) Something I noticed with the ‘10s was how their acidities just burned away the sweetness, even D-assed wines. And so if you had a “formula” whereby a wine like this was always Halbtrocken, you either kept it that way and had a radically different type of wine, or you adapted the sweetness to create a similar type of wine that wasn’t Halbtrocken any more. And so this is a serious wine and a serious departure from its norm, all sage and marjoram rather than cassis and elderflower. Zero botrytis yet over 90º (i.e., good Spät), salty and Sencha-like, with almost a GrüVe boxwoody note.
