Georg Albrecht Schneider, Rheinhessen (Germany) Riesling 2016

Jan 8, 2019

By Marguerite Thomas

 Seven generations of the Schneider family have owned this estate, with three generations working there today (a claim that few wineries in the world can make).  Creamy on the palate, this off-dry Riesling resonates with toothsome flavors of ripe pear, peach and lime zest enhanced by minerality.  Fresh notes of acidity contribute freshness and clarity to the wine’s overall composition.
