Straw hue with aromas of baby powder, tropical fruit compote, vibrant pineapple.
Palate--OK first impression with a slightly tepid foundation. Steely mid palate-- off dry fruitiness, with a lack luster finish.
Mosel is perhaps the premier German wine region although I am sure many might dispute that. Having been there and cruising down the Mosel River, the steepness of the vineyard terraces look down-right frightening. Riesling at its best is absolutely charming, vibrant, and hard to say no to a 3rd glass and beyond. At $10 (on sale from $12) it's "meah."
I will be pairing it with pork chops steamed with sauerkraut and spaetzle (a german pasta) in a nutmeg laced cream sauce. The wine is disappointing but tasty none-the-less.
