Riesling, Schloss Vollrads, `Schlossberg` Grosses Gewächs Rheingau, Germany

Leaning towards a sweeter Riesling, lovely bread smell.

Schloss Vollrads stands for tradition but that doesn’t mean mothballs. The fruit is ripe and clean, reflecting the generosity of the vintage. On the palate apricot and peach take on a slightly sweet slant, but the residual sugar is well integrated into a truly juicy expression and a fine mineral accent adds further interest.
