Nose: medium - petrolic beeswax, white flowers and dry orchids, lime rind Palette: nice level of sweetness, honeydew, not much minerality on this one. Altogether simple rendering on the palette. However, well balanced, nice extension, and crisp.
Great but not exceptional. Yet, knowledge of where this was raised and by whom (lovely couple and awesome winemaker) does bring joyful reflection.
This was nice, as expected, but on the simple side for me. I wish I got more of the honey that 99Tollap did, that would have made it stand out more. As it was, this was well made but didn't have much to distinguish it from loads of other entry level feinherbs.

I just love this wine. More full bodied Mosel. Really intense green apple and pineapple, but it is the honey that really gets me. I've never had a riesling with quite such an intense honey component, to the point that it almost gives the wine a viscous quality. Lovely beeswax mouth feel and lively acidity lingering on the finish. It's lacking complexity, but the flavours are wonderful.

easy to drink and went fast. lime zest nose. crunchy, crispy, tingly acidity. plenty of mineral freshness and flavors of lime and pear. bone dry and thirst quenching.
