  Tesco's Finest Mosel Riesling Steillage Qualitatswein 2011. Tasted well chilled.
  Bought 2014 £7.99 Tesco's supermarket, UK.
  
  Colour is a good straw, with green tinge, good for a 4 yr old.
  
  Not much going on in the aroma dept initially, then it comes on a bit, no intensity.
  
  In the mouth, no real flavour at first but then on come the ripe limes and crisp apples, nice fresh acidity for a 4 yr old cheapie German Riesling. It finishes a bit short. Just a hint of some wet stone minerals, some excitement. An all-nighter style, delicious to quaff if well chilled, doesn't necc need food, though I had it with a Nigella thai beef curry which suited it v well.
  
  Value-for-money? At £7.99 very good, for a Mosel Riesling. Would buy again, esp if it comes down on promo.

  Very decent Riesling. Full and complex flavour - a shade sweeter than many Rieslings. Had it with cod and chips, which is a great combo.
