Pours a surprisingly deep yellow. Nose offers plenty of ripe golden fruit. Palate entry medium sweet and seemingly a bit simple.
Day two paired with German brats braised in caramelized onions/carrots and sauerkraut. The sauerkraut completely changes this wine converting the sweetness to a fresh acid and the flavor profile to an almond tinged white cherry and plum. Very, very interesting food and wine pairing.
Try this with picked/fermented foods as umeshu, kimchi, sauerkraut etc for an interesting change in perception.

Much sweeter than anticipated, yet still refreshing and enjoyable.

Spicy, floral white peach and nectarine, a little citrus, all elegantly balanced by the acidity. Great length with yet more spice, flowers, and multifaceted fruit on the finish. I usually prefer drier Rieslings, but this was unusually well balanced. And as is often the case, stunningly high quality for the measly price.
