Lovely German riesling. Off dry, paired perfectly with the Thai meal we were eating. Citrus/floral/wet slate on the nose, more of the same, with an acid backbone and a slightly sweet finish on the palate.
My memory is that it wasn't expensive, so great QPR.

Pale yellow color with a bouquet and flavor dominated by acidity and sugar with very little fruit in evidence. Much too sweet with no countervailing depth or nuance. Drink it up.

Pale yellow color with an amazing bouquet and flavor of petrol, with apple notes playing support. Nice acidity with good balance and moderate finish. Too sweet for my taste, which now favors drier Rieslings. I would recommend finding a bottle of this wine and drinking it for he fun of imaging that you are drinking a bit of petrol.
