Not sure of the amount of residual sugar in this but it does a great job of rounding out the edges and contributing texture and body to the wine. At the same time I don’t feel that the wine sits comfortably in the off-dry camp.
Baked apples sit atop lemons and limes with hints of Angostura bitters and a chalky persona. Acidity is embedded but up to the task. Defined minerality extends through the finish. The balance is bang on. Ultimately it’s more about watercolours than Germanic tension but I believe it has a bright future in front of it. 92
