Wine Review: This friendly, medium dry Riesling from the Mosel region of Germany is a pale straw color, and shows aromas of fresh apricot, nutmeg, wet slate, honeydew, and jasmine. On the palate, it is fresh, soft, and clean, medium-minus bodied. The bright medium-plus acidity is balanced by plenty of ripe fruit. I found flavors of white peach, lemon, honey, saline and crushed granite, along with notes of nectarine, ginger, and ash. There's a lingering, dry finish. You can serve this versatile wine with chicken francese. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: It is highly aromatic, with scents of apricot, pineapple, green apple, and white peach. Fresh fruit flavors are perfectly balanced by a racy acidity and a backdrop of mineral character derived from the varying slate soils which are the hallmarks of the Mosel Valley.
