This 2013 vintage showcases the exquisite qualities of Riesling, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity that dances on the palate. The wine's body is medium, providing a rich mouthfeel that enhances its vibrant character. Lively acidity adds a refreshing quality, ensuring that the sweetness never becomes cloying, while the pronounced fruit intensity reveals a medley of stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
