A laid-back take, with root vegetable and mineral scents floating over a bed of ginger and green apples. Passionfruit flavor brings the palate to life while stony notes dominate the short-to-medium finish. Best now to 2011.

Fresh-smelling, like citrus and green herbs or grass, this medium-bodied Riesling is not very fruity, displaying a more sandstone-mineral character on the palate. There’s a vaguely umami aspect to it as well, as it ends on a mouthwatering beefy or briny note. Drink now.

To judge by its nose, this medium-bodied Riesling is quiet and introverted. And the flavors are also relatively neutral, with a slight earthiness and savory character defining its profile. Has the same lingering beefy-brininess on the finish as the other Liebfruenstift wines, just not as intense.

The nose lacks punch, offering only faint notes of melon and white flowers while the crisp, fairly dry palate sails by on fleeting notes of white raspberry and pomelo. Not one for aging.

Lush aromas of mango and lychee are contradicted by the austere structure of this wine. The acidity is severe and the finish, though it shows some nice nut tones, ends on a drying note. Drink now.

Opens with exotic notes of musk and summer jasmine, backed up by scents of tangerine. The dry palate is light and more straightforward, wrapping up with a short burst of lemon peel.

A decent value in dry Riesling, this offering from the home estate of Valckenberg features scents of lime, clover blossom and petrichor (wet stones), then delivers bright citrusy-apple flavors. It’s medium in body and broad in the mouth yet crisp at the same time, finishing with zesty acids. Drink now.

A bit lighter in body and fruitier in style than the very similar 2009 Kirchenschlüssel, this dry Riesling displays crisp apple and citrus flavors alongside deeper, earthier, more savory notes.
