| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Medium-bodied slightly off-dry white wine; pale lemon yellow with greenish highlights. Intense aromas of citrus peel (kumquat, tangerine) with a palate focused on fleshy pear, green apple and nectarine. Complex and juicy, with a long, crisp finish and a note of sweet Fuji or Gala apple in the close. Beautiful solo sipper, and beautiful with food. Alcohol: 10%. Owned by the von Schönborn family since 1349, the operation controls more than 185 acres, making it the largest privately held estate in the Rheingau. Located in Hattenheim, its vineyards are planted with more than 85% Riesling. Serve moderately chilled, about 55ºF (13ºC) in medium-sized tulip-shaped glasses.
