Wine Review: This almost clear colored Riesling opens with an Anjou pear and wet stone bouquet with hints of lime. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied, rather sweet and round. The flavor profile is a candied lime with notes of dried pineapple. We also detected hints of grapefruit, Meyer lemon and white tea. The finish remains sweet and lingers nicely. The Panel suggested pairing this Riesling with crab dip or with seared scallops with orange-lime sauce. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Elderflower, lilac, violet, and rose are the floral notes attributed to these wines along with the aforementioned smoky minerality. These Ockfener Bocksteins are the most refined and playful of St. Urbans-Hof's wines.
