Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Riesling from Dr. Loosen opens with some micro bubbles and a lavender and Meyer lemon tea bouquet with hints of honeydew melon, and wet stone. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, brisk, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a white peach, lemon zest, and ginger blend with notes of passion fruit, saline, and quince. We also detected hints of pineapple and mandarin orange, The finish is delicately sweet, and its acidity sustains it for a while. The Tasting Panel would pair this Riesling with Thai food or with Italian anise cookies. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A precise and sophisticated Riesling Kabinett from one of the most revered vineyards in the Mosel valley. The famous "sundial" vineyard, in the village of Wehlen, produces the quintessential Mosel Riesling Kabinett: elegant and refined, with a racy texture and endless charm. This precipitously steep and rocky vineyard yields some of the most elegant and sophisticated white wines in the world. The classic blue slate soil gives the wines a delicate, crisp acidity that perfectly balances the pure peach and lemon fruit. It’s a lively wine that dances gracefully on the palate.
