Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Light golden, with moderate sweetness offset nicely by natural acidity and a relatively low alcohol content (about 10.5%), opening to show dried apricots, honeyed apples, and a good hint of pepper. Lively and fresh, as good as an aperitif as a dessert wine. Drink now-2011. Score – 88. (Daniel Rogov at the kosher wine report website, July 20, 2008).” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was thick and syrupy. It was delicious. The initial meal consisted of commercial pancakes featuring zucchini and other vegetables. The Riesling was mouth filling, tasting of burnt sugar. It was quite long and a little bit went a long way. Fresh raspberries thickened this liquid, which tickled the tongue.
