This wine showcases a beautiful, pale straw color that hints at its freshness and vibrancy. The 2011 vintage is characterized by its medium body which offers a satisfying weight on the palate. Bright acidity provides a refreshing backbone, balancing the wine's charming natural sweetness and enhancing its lively character. With a prominent fruit intensity, this Riesling captivates with notes of luscious stone fruit and zesty citrus, complemented by subtle floral aromas.

This wine is expertly crafted, making it a true testament to the region's winemaking heritage and a perfect companion for a variety of dishes or simply to savor on its own.

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).
