This being, as the saying goes, a free country, this excellent winery can call their wines whatever they wish. However, this is a sweet wine rather than an off-dry one, which I note not with any disapproval, but rather in the interest of readers getting what they’re actually seeking. The delicious flavors include baked apple, tropical and citrus fruit flavors, and though a bit more acidity would have made this even better, lovers of sweet Riesling will be extremely happy with it. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine and Spirits Challenge.
