The glory of fine Riesling is beautifully expressed in this bottle from the village of Deiedeheim in the Pfalz. Bold scents of apple, lemon, peach and tropical fruit enchant at the nose along with hints of fresh flowers, ginger and allspice. The flavors are luscious and multilayered. A cascade of apple, pineapple and peach fruits are underscored by the floral, honey and spice elements. The texture is rich and full, making this a wine to pair with full flavored recipes of all sorts — from salmon to poultry to pork and beyond. Delicious now for its powerful fruit expression and layered flavors, it will grow and improve for another decade.
