Rasa Vineyards Riesling The Composer

Apple, lots of petrol, lime and jasmine. Good acidity. So tasty with our halibut and with the Cauliflower rice with curry, roasted almond slivers, peas, sun dried tomatoes, lemongrass. Drinking great today but has some time, too.

Definitely new world style, with tons of ripe green apples on the nose and ever so slight hints of petrol in the background. Rich palate with balancing acidity, and imminently drinkable.

After the disappointing showing of the 12 Rasa in The Lime Light, this was a pleasant surprise. 11.9% ABV, so a heavier wine that its Mosel Counterparts and lacks the minerality of Alsace, but very pleasant and spry Riesling in its own right. I would put the sweetness between a Kabinett and Spatlese, with baked apples dominating the nose and palate, very fresh. Good acidity, might improve in the short term.

Maybe a bad bottle but my reaction is that I waited too long.

Very good structure and fruit, minerality profile. Would have preferred if it was just a bit lighter and brighter with more acidity. Enjoyable.

Pineapple syrup, peach and white fruit. Terrific fruit- tropical fruit, peach and apricot, but I would have liked a little more acidity.

Opened by Bill at his house for dinner. I was really looking forward to this as I had hear many good things about this winery. Thought this was simple with some notes of stone fruits.
