Biecher & Schaal Riesling Sommerberg

Petrol and floral on the nose, very mineral-heavy on the tongue and very dry. With a bit of air, the fruit comes out - pineapple and maybe a hint of honeydew. Light bodied for Alsace but nonetheless still very interesting. Wish I had more bottles.

Solid. Really nice nose of petrol, lychee and some pineapple notes but the palate was altogether different showing crisp, almost sharp acidity with lemon and honey notes. Lots of glycerin on the aftertaste and I almost thought it might be a bit flabby but I’m hoping that’s just baby fat that time will trim. Medium long finish. A steal for a GC under 30$.

chalky, bright riesling - less honey this time around

nicely done riesling balancing a flash of honeyed apricot followed by more mineral and saline petrol. nice!
