Schiefer means “slate,” but this wine’s stoniness is softer, less severe than that, cushioned under layers of superripe pear and spices that resemble cinnamon or clove and ginger. There’s ample weight and richness on the palate despite a sense of dryness, and the wine finishes long, with hints of ripe peach.

Fairly dry in style, with apple and pear flavors that are ripe without being sweet, and brought home by steely acids and tart citrus fruit. Drink this medium-bodied Riesling over the next year or two.
