Steely minerality and nervy acidity make this dry Riesling from Nahe rank way up there on the totem pole of great German Rieslings. Stony notes of slate and chalk dominate the nose on this lively wine packed with focused flavors of Granny Smith apple and ripe yellow peach. This strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tart and delivers a ton of value for the money.
