Delicate at first then tropically ripe, brimming with apricot, nectarine and a touch of pineapple. Lemon citrus and acacia blossom balance the sweetness effortlessly. Pair with Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Thai, and Asian cuisines. Pairs well with spicy and aromatic ingredients like pepper, ginger, curry, sesame, and soy. Also great with Spicy BBQ and wings.

90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2019 Semi-Dry Riesling comes in with 11.5% alcohol, 22 grams per liter of residual sugar and seven grams of total acidity. Not quite as aggressive as the Dry Riesling, this nonetheless shows off its nice acidity early and often. Focused, precise and pure, it has fine balance. At this price level, this (like its sibling) is a no-brainer purchase. The Dry Riesling has a lot more energy, while this is predictably lusher. Reasonable minds and personal preferences might differ as to which is better. I'd give the nod to the Dry Riesling just now, but it might depend on my mood and how I would use it.

90 Wine Enthusiast

Rich aromas of tangerine and apricot meld with sharper tones of lime and thyme on the nose. There’s nice weight and depth to the medium-bodied palate, where juicy yet pithy orchard fruit flavors are propped up by zesty acidity. While fruity in nature, the balance is there, making this easy to enjoy as an aperitif.

90 James Suckling

Lime, elderflower, peach and stone on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with sharp acidity and a citrusy palate. Rounded and semi-dry, but tangy. Drink now. Screw cap.
