Kloster Eberbach Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling Feinherb 2014, Rheingau, Germany

$29.99 | 89/100

UPC: 4004850024052 Weathered slate mixed with loess and loam is what is what Rudesheimer Berg Roseneck is all about. Minerality is the name of the game here, and you taste it right from the get go in this bright, easy-sipping Riesling from the middle tier labelled “Crescentia” — fruit from high-quality vineyards, but from the very best sites. They can be dry or semi-dry wines — or confusingly “feinherb,” a German term with no real translation other than balance, in this case between sugar and acid. This is a delicious drinking Riesling with floral notes, bright yellow fruit character, freshness and some sweetness in the back end. Perfect with chicken, fish or a sushi roll.
