Light-bodied, with sweet apple, lime and peach fruit. Hints of kerosene mark the nose, while the finish is sweet but simultaneously crisp and grapefruity.

This lightweight auslese features admirable minerality in its crisp green apple and lime aromas and flavors. Frankly sweet flavors turn tart and malic, then thin out a little on the finish, but this is a solid commercial offering.

Aromatically subdued, with just a whiff of steely minerality, this easygoing Riesling boasts ripe peach and apricot flavors, accented by hints of spice and crushed stone. The finish is brisk, with vivid lemon-lime acidity.

It’s a bit chunky for a Mosel Riesling, but this wine also offers enough in the way of semisweet lime and pineapple flavors to compensate. There’s a hint of struck flint on the nose and a slightly custardy texture. Drink now.

Simple lime and apple flavors, lightly sweet and low in acidity, but supple, easy to drink and generally harmonious. A good by-the-glass choice at your local German restaurant.

The price might indicate a mass-produced wine, but only 4,000 cases of this bargain-priced spätlese were made. After a bit of burnt matchstick on the nose, melon, peach and chalk flavors give way to pink grapefruit on the finish.

Matchstick and earth on the nose, along with hints of green apples and limes. Lean and crisp, with earthy flavors that lean toward lemon and Granny Smith apples.
