At three percent residual sugar, German Riesling can still carry so much acidity that you barely notice the sweetness. It presents more as fresh picked fruit than sugary, and it works like no other place in the world save maybe Washington State. This one is firing on all cylinders in that regard in spot-on fashion, and at a great price to boot. Prost!
