Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, David Schildknecht - Tasted from cask, the 2004 Nackenheimer Rothenberg smells alluringly of tangerine, sweet, resinous green herbs, bacon, lemon oil, honey, and sea breezes. In fact, speaking of breezes, everything about this wine simply blew me away! The vivid essence of fresh citrus, rich nut oils, pungent herb and citrus rind, sea spray, intensely smoky, soil-borne tones, creamy texture, subtle and supportive leesy notes, and a mysterious musky animal side all add up to a tour de force of flavor. By the time you read this, the wine will have been bottled and I challenge you to beat me to the next sip!Additional Information

RieslingThis white "aromatic" grape makes light-style wines with fruity, floral and mineral aromas. Generally somewhat sweet with stabilizing acidity, Riesling is a great food wine that pairs especially well with Thai or Chinese cuisine. Superior examples come from Germany, Alsace and Austria, with new-world styles coming out of New York, California, Washington, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

GermanyKnown mainly for dry to sweet white wines, German wines actually cover a wide range of styles and colors. Riesling and Gewürztraminer are the most common and best-known German wines in the US, but Müller-Thurgau (a Riesling cross) and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) are also widely planted. German wine labels often cause confusion, but actually contain much useful information including varietal, producer, region, quality level, and dry-to-sweetness level. Look for great examples from Reinhold Haart, Zind Humbrecht and Dr. Loosen.View all our items from Germany
