This wine was very pale straw gold in colour. It had an intense honey and citrus bouquet. The taste had strong pineapple and peach fruit and honey sweetness, with some crisp acid balance. This was quite light bodied, a classic honey fruit style rielsing.

Note 1 I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these wines as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
