Normally I am not a “sweet” wine drinker, however this light, crisp wine hits the spot making the Monchhof Riesling is an excellent choice for many occasions. Even if you don’t normally find lighter wine appealing you are likely to enjoy this one from Germany. Harvested in October Robert Eymael declared the wines produced at the Monchhof in 2003 the best in his 20 year career and possibly ever at the estate.
Excellent alone or with a moderately spicy dish, this wine has a very smooth finish.
