    This wine is flat out brilliant! I believe it has 16g of residual sugar however you’d never know it as there is more than enough acid to carry it. Light and lithe this dances across the palate as it touches every taste bud. The finish just goes on and on and on… I LOVE this wine! (98 pts.)

So this is late harvest but fermented mostly dry? Could you provide a point of reference to say a German or Alsatian style? Any idea why NV?

From the label:
33 brix @ harvest
13.4g residual sugar

Definitely more of a German style. I’m not sure why non vintage, perhaps they wanted to blend a couple of vintages to get the balance just so. I thought 13.4g residual sugar was fairly high but I don’t really know what is typical so… ??? Fabulous wine though.

Cheers!
