  What's not to love, not quite enough acidity for my taste but overall very typical varietal expressions of spatlese riesling.

  Golden color. Rich and layered aromas of pineapple, petrol, peach, ginger. Round palate, fruit on the front and mid-palate with ample freshness. This can go long and at this price it is an amazing find.

  Honey dew skin colored
  Petrol and melon notes on the nose. Some green apple.
  Some spritz. Lovely acidity. Tastes like the nose. This is refreshing and delicious. Will age well no doubt but it's ready to rock right now.
  
  BRITT friendly.

  Pas mal au niveau des Donnhoff pour moi.
  Bien franc et salivant. Il y a des notes pétrolées
  mais c'est pas envahissant, bel équilibre.
  Du miel, des fleurs, des pommes et de la pêche.
  La finale est hyper longue et bien suave.
  Légère impression de sucre mais tellement délicieux.
  Excellent.

  Roasted pineapple aromas suggest botrytis. Still fresh and zippy with acidity on the finish. The Schaefer spatleses generally command a bit of a premium, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a bottle that I felt wasn’t worth it.
