Reviews and Ratings

Nicole Lewis rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

I have not drank anything "Black Tower" in years - this takes me back to my early wine explorations. This German Riesling from Pfalz is a pale straw yellow, with the slightest green highlights. It offers aromas of green apple, lemon and peaches. It is fruity and dry, posting 9 g/L of sugar, placing it in the 'dry' wine category. It seems sweeter owing to its fruity character. It displays ripe apple and peach with a touch of lemon on the palate. This straight-forward wine is a medium-bodied, refreshing offering with a medium peach-lemon finish. I would pair this with fish tacos.
