Terra Starkenburg Riesling 2023


Gentle straw hie with aromas of subtle, apple, baby powder and tropical fruit.

Palate--Lively "spritzig" in the mouth with gentle spicing of apples and a fleeting finish.

This is a marginal example of how glorious Riseling can be. It is fresh, fruity, drinks easily, and with a chill on it is an all purpose kind of wine sticking with appetizers, of a milder sort and would also do OK with Asian cuisine.  

BUT--Riseling can be a big, wonderful memorable quaff with palate cleansing acidity. This is not that wine. I think I paid under $10 for this "Qualitatswein" Riesling which  is the lowest "title" on a German label.  There are better ones out there at the same price point so use your discreation.
