Tasting Notes

Vinous Joel Payne - 01 Jan 11
Pale golden yellow with a greenish tinge. Very rich aromas of apricot and lemon oil are lifted by a hint of spicy botrytis. Generous peach fruit extract saturates the palate, masking the wine's subtle spicy acidity. More about richness than elegance, this wine needs time.

Germany

Germany is renowned for its diverse, high-quality wines, primarily white varieties like Riesling. Thriving in cool climates and regions like Mosel, Rheingau, and Pfalz, German Rieslings range from dry to sweet, showcasing vibrant acidity and minerality. Top producers include Weingut Egon Müller and Joh. Jos. Prüm in Mosel, Weingut Robert Weil in Rheingau, and Dr. Loosen. Weingut Keller in Rheinhessen is noted for both Riesling and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). These producers highlight the excellence and tradition of German winemaking.
