"Stunning from the first whiff, this is Scheurebe in all its glory. It’s spicy more than green; it’s creamy more than banana-rich; it’s cool orange more than Carmen Miranda–fruity, never tilting over the edge into caricature. It’s also as smooth as satin, lithe and airy, propelled by something that feels more like energy than anything as tangible as acidity. With nearly 200 grams of sugar per liter, it’s certainly sweet, but it doesn’t feel ponderously so. Pour it with a soft, ripe washed-rind cheese." - Reviewed 4/15
