Along the River Main - Riesling and Silvaner with a particularly earthy touch

Trockene Schmitts, Randersackerer Sonnenstuhl Silvaner Spätlese trocken "konsequent", 2007

From the winery with the silly name comes a surprisingly good wine: Complex, quite powerful smell of ripe apples and cantaloupe melons. A lot of apply fruit in the mouth, very ripe and concentrated, earthy minerality.

By the way, I caught on to them: the label says 0,5 grams of residual sugar are still in the wine. Shame on you. Did you think we wouldn't notice?
