It actually really resembles the varieties in the nose with the green melon, peach of Chard and apricot of Riesling. Based on the nose it feels slightly more Riesling based, I checked the residual sugar and yes I was right despite the wine being classified as dry it has 7.8g/l residua sugar, which is noticeable and slightly offset by with higher acidity due to cold 2013 vintage.
