Art Series Riesling 2005

Pale lemon color with a green tint. Youthful nose with a medium intensity of candied pear, minerality and citrus flowers aromas. Hints of dairy. Dry on the palate. Medium acidity, alcohol and body. Medium(-) intensity of canned fruit (pear, apple) and minerality. Short length. Drink now or keep until 2010.

Fruit, acidity and alcohol are balanced, but rather simplistic on mid-palate. Refreshing summer wine thanks to its minerality, but the fruit seems already to be fading.

Yes, any kind of help is needed to crush the myth that all Riesling is sweet
