Joseph Handler Riesling 2022

 

Pale straw, nearly clear, with aromas of melon, lime and sweet spices with vanilla.

Palate--Off dry first impression with a somewhat lethargic foundation. Flavors of green melon and tropical fruit are subdued which could be hampered by the temperature of the wine. Finishes very quickly with a lack luster overall profile.

 Riesling is one of my favorite white wine grapes and is the signature grape of Germany. This one hails from the "Pfalz" region bottled in blue glass which is a kind of signature of the region's wines. 

This is a Q.B.A. which is a German quality notation. It is essentially the beginning point of german wines and goes up from the there.  This is not a great example of the nature of Riesling but chill it down, it is tasty enough and economical.
