It’s time for another riesling. Of course, anytime is a good time for riesling. This one comes from the Rheinhessen region — the largest of Germany’s 13 wine regions.
The producer, P.J. Valckenberg, based in Worms am Rhein, has been producing wines since 1786. They were one of the first producers in Germany to export their wine and become an international business.
White peach, tangerine, honeysuckle, apple and lemon aromas provide this wine a stunning nose. The palate is off dry and mouth watering, offering rich fruit flavors such as white peach, tart apple, musk melon and lemon. There’s a nice creaminess to the mouthfeel and brightness from the acidity. The finish lingers on and on. This is a fantastic riesling.
