A nicely complex nose of apple, lemon and herbs gives way to a dry, smooth mouth full of grape flavor. An even, if slightly thin mouthfeel and smooth finish wrap it up nicely. It strikes one that Riesling is the only variety--certainly the variety that most often--does taste like grapes, as opposed to other fruits.

This rather rustic wine in a round wide "bock" bottle has a round mouthfeel, simple and earthy aromas and flavors. But a ripe, fermenting-hay note begins on the nose, continues into the mid-palate where it becomes a musty mature element on the straightforward grape flavors. Still, it might work with sausages or other country fare.
