2008 H&L Nicolaus Kreuznacher Kronenberg Semi-dry Riesling, Nahe

Further proof of German Riesling's infinite versatility, this semi-dry wine combines the beloved natural sweetness of the noble grape with a saline minerality and peppy acidity. A bouquet of freshly cut hay, slate, and orange zest open up to a zippy palate of lemon pulp and green apple Jolly Rancher. That subtle Riesling sweetness shows up in the finish but because this is fermented semi-dry, the finish stays clean and never gets cloying or heavy. A delightful drink, especially for those hot summer months.
