A wine with two different faces. Quite light and, at first, closed smell which becomes more prominent with time and rising temperature. Tropical fruit like white peaches and orange and a backbone with lemon and lime. The palate is more straightforward, oily texture packed with tropical fruits. Almost like a Mosel-Riesling, waxy and compact, with orange still bossing the notes. The aftertaste is long with a hint of sour tonic. Perhaps lacking a bit of acidity imo which makes it a bit heavy but works really well with cold smoked salmon. A well made Riesling.

It is sweet, auslese sweet, which kind of surprises. Mandrin oranges, lychee, sweet syrup. Not enough mineral or acidity to make it great in my book. A little flat, but it does have intensity of fruit with lingering flavors. More like intense canned fruit punch. OK for the price, but not great.
