Country: Germany / Mosel
Variety: Riesling
Winery: Peter Mertes / Platinum
Aromas of pressed apples and pears turn fleshier and riper on the palate of this forward, concentrated Riesling. Sumptuous peach and apricot flavors amass a honeyed sweetness on the midpalate, balanced neatly by squirts of tangerine acidity. It’s an approachable, fruity wine to drink now through 2017.
