Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Ulrich Langguth Piesporter Günterslay Riesling Spätlese

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Honey, overripe lemon, olive oil, fondant, and some faint kerosine. Simple and a bit cloying, with the honey note dominating over any other flavors. Finishes a bit weak and sweet.

Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese

Germany · Nahe
