Lemon in color, with pronounced floral aromas—elder-flower, honeysuckle and acacia—alongside white peaches and nectarines. There’s a strong mineral focus on the nose. Sweet, yet deliciously crisp and juicy, with ample flavor concentration. Taut and lively, and has a long minerally finish.

Sweet and lithe, this is a wonderfully clean and pure expression of Riesling eiswein. There’s no botrytis, only sweet pineapple, apple and citrus flavors that finish on lingering notes of orange and lemon. This should last a while in the cellar, but there’s really no reason to delay gratification.

The Goldtröpfchen vineyard lies above and around the village of Piesport, facing almost due south to best catch the sun’s rays. The result is a soft but concentrated wine, brimming with honeydew, dried spices and tangerine flavors that linger on the finish.

This wine is notably sweet, but its sugars are balanced by ample acidity, making it crisp and refreshing. Hints of slate on the nose are complemented by apple and citrus aromas, while the flavors run toward honey, bergamot and ripe melon. Finishes long, with the acids imparting a mouthwatering quality.

Pale in color and light in body, this waif of a kabinett is undeniably attractive, offering a delicate kaleidoscope of pear, apple, pineapple and lime fruit linked together in gentle harmony. Drink it over the next year or two.

This sweet spätlese displays some rather funky, sweaty aromas, but also ample apple and citrus fruit, and the resulting combination is both likable and complex. The crisp, green-apple finish fades a bit quickly, but this is a pleasant warm-weather sipper.

Crisp, refreshing and light as a feather, with lemon zest and honeysuckle scents that wind down to a musk finish. There’s a lot of flavor here for a fair price; consider this one for your next big gathering.

Trittenheim’s Apotheke vineyard has an ideal exposition on the northern shore of the Mosel. The abundant heat has given this wine a plump, succulent texture and honeyed, ripe flavors of melon and citrus that start off a bit diffuse but gradually gain focus on the long finish.

Quite off-dry but balanced, with pretty pear scents over a base of wet earth and honey. Medium, slightly funky finish. Ideal to partner with a Malaysian seafood dish. Drink now to 2012.

Not quite as extremely sweet as some of the giant BAs from 2006, this wine actually shows a modicum of minerality and spice to go along with hints of dried apricot and honey. It doesn’t finish as long or powerful as some, but instead shows a certain elegance and balance.
