My first German 🌹 and from a produce of great Riesling.
The color is not very appealing - gold/yellow hues. I smell rose hips, tangerine, red grapefruit/pith.
Nice weight and texture for a rose, I tried it at 19c and the acids over dominated, now after being open a few hours and chilled to 9c I can enjoy texture, flavor and then acid and a slight effervescence.
The citrus notes carry through to the tongue, softened with honey. It's a good balance. Unlike other old world or new world rosé- something about it reminds me of Grüner veltlinnger, maybe the medium length herbal finish.
The longer the bottle is open the more it is showing and going on me- which is a trait I found of Markus Molitor riesling as well. — a year ago
Really enjoyed this Riesling! Had the typical petroleum aroma along with floral and citrus notes. Sweet flavors especially a nice grapefruit tone. Short crisp finish. Enjoyed it with shrimp. — 3 months ago
Crisp and clean with under ripe pear and a soft stone fruit finish. A perfect white for the afternoon. So great. $18 or so at Top Ten — 9 months ago
Nice aromatics, ski FF toy darker, with fresh sweet dark cherry, some dark berries, a hint of fresh mushrooms. Very fresh & airy. Enticing.
On the palate this surprises with quite some grip. Fresh acidity, nice purity of fruit and quite a tannic, juicy frame.
A touch hit towards the finish (14% alc) yet a truly nice one. Drinkable, elegant, complete, quite lovely. — 2 years ago

First wine of the Holiday Weekend! Interesting Austrian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Blaufrankish, Zweigelt, Merlot and Syrah. Bright red color with a ruby core. Dark cherry aromas with a hint of smoke and wet stones. Palate is full of cherry/red berry fruit with notes of dark chocolate, baking spices and black pepper. Touch of vanilla and cedar on the extremely long finish. Medium bodied, well structured and nicely balanced. Tannins are present but in check. — 9 months ago
