Wine Review: This appealing wine finished in 4th place in our recent blind tasting of Rieslings. This almost clear wine opens with a shy bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is lively, crisp, slightly sweet, and displays lime like flavors with a touch of lemon infused iced tea. The finish is refreshing and leaves you wanting another sip. This wine was made for those hot summer days. Pair it with various cheeses like, brie, Great Hill blue, Parmesan, or Gruyère. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This entry-level Loosen Riesling embodies the elegant and racy characteristics of steep, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very reasonable price. It is a bright, vibrant, fruit-driven wine made with grapes from contracted growers who work very closely with brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen to achieve excellent quality and superb concentration in every vintage.
