Refreshing zesty, mineral style of Riesling. Very nicely drinkable and and excellent for hot summer due to its refreshing and vibrant acidity despite hot 2011 vintage. For comparison check the Riesling from the same producer, same vintage, same vineyard, but different sugar level in the grapes at harvest tasted in May 2013.
