Pfalz, 2016, Riesling 11.8% QbA BD 2016 Riesling L.

This is a one litre bottle, a typical Palatino(Surrounding area of Hainfeld) bottle size. Lets imagine; in a hot summer day; temperature is coming down in the late afternoon, people like to come out from their house, meet the others and have a cool drink in one of the local wine bar which usually set up right next to vineyards with great a view. Quite often they like to open a bottle of this size, sometime they mix the wine with water and some ice in the glass or to share with friends or taking the unfinished bottle to the restaurant or home, it is very popular in the region, a happy life style.

On the front label you may find a German word “feinherb”, signify the style of the wine as off-dry, a level between the half-dry and semi-sweet. It hint the style not a rating as an unregulated designation,

Since this is a low acid wine, therefore the residual sugar is just 12 g / Litre , not complicated wine, very presence to drink during summer time.
