Another enjoyable bottle. More acidity than I remember. I am surprised of the ".. Off dry" profile others find in this wine. I find it completely dry.

The wine is straw colored. It tastes sweeter than expected but finishes tart. Green apple is the most prominent flavor. Edit: bumped my score up after having a couple more bottles over the past month.

Much better than expected. Labeled as dry but it could be maybe off dry. Went well with a sweet Chinese take out (sesame chicken)

19th Canberra International Riesling Challenge (Albert Hall, Canberra) : medium minus intensity aromas of stone fruit, a little stinging nettle. On the palate it's tight and grippy, the fruit not present. Meh

This wine can easily be found for less than $10/bottle and that is an outright bargain. Don't try serving this to Aunt Ida who just loves her sweet Riesling. But about anyone else should either enjoy this or find it good enough. Nice weight with stone and melon fruit and some mineral notes.

Going from memory. Very light straw yellow color with a greenish hue. Bright acidity and very food friendly with notes of pear, green apple, lime, and minerals. Pretty good value for ~$10.

Served at 10c/50f, with Hors d'oeuvre. Pale yellow in the glass. Nose of peach, with floral overtone, carrying over to the palate. Light-bodied (12.5% abv) The Sweetness indicator on the label was between Dry and Medium-Dry. Enough acid to balance the tropical fruit for crispness. A pleasant wine to accompany a meal, or for sipping on its own, yet a little sweeter than I would have thought per the label. Since it is labeled 'Dry' this may be the driest …
