The biggest problem we have in UK with German wine is getting the good stuff. Most of the time it is kept in Germany. Once you find a  good stockist you’ll find some absolute gems. From crisp dry rieslings to luscious sweet dessert wines.

This particular wine is dry with aromas of green apple, blossom and flavours that include honeysuckle, white pepper, unripened citrus and a mineral/flinty finish. That’s a lot of acidity but with the light texture it’s rather good.

The only issue I have is with the price, at about Eur20 a bottle it’s not cheap but then again this is German wine so you have to expect the good stuff is expensive.
