From the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region of Germany

Light, white gold color

Easy, laid-back Riesling scents: peach, pear, honey, Granny Smith Apple

A well-balanced wine. There is definitely sweetness in the glass, but it's offset with enough crisp acidity to avoid "Blue Nun territory."

Surprisingly long finish. A very nice aperitif wine It will pair nicely with salads of all kinds.

This bottle's neck was covered in foil, and the screwcap was much smaller than the Stelvin closures common on many NZ & Aussie wines. My curiosity got the best of me and I took this mystery bottle home.

After removing the foil, I discovered that, indeed this bottle had a screwcap. It was very slim and unobtrusive. I liked the fact that it was hidden under the foil - so as not to draw attention to the absence of a cork (not that there's anything wrong with that).
