This dry Riesling has a pale yellow color with delicate green apple, citrus and floral aromas combined with dusty mineral notes. In the mouth are attention-getting intense flavors of peaches, green apples, and Meyer lemon enhanced by bright, cleansing acidity and lingering flavors. Great for a pool party, picnic or a Niçoise salad with grilled tuna. It is quite a bargain and will be great for summer entertaining. The producer is Moselland, a grower cooperative winery created in 1968. Their website says that they are one of the largest producers of Riesling in the world. I read their statement reading, “Making high quality wines with unique and clear taste profiles is our passion” before I tasted this wine. They nailed it with the clear taste profile.
