2014 Furst Lowenstein Homburg Riesling trocken; I found this in a discount bin in Ft. Wayne recently so for $10, why not! Nice lemon/Lime flavors with prickly acidity that is almost spritzy. Good minerality in a slatey way. Color is pale straw and abv is
%11.5. bottled in the typical bocksbeutel and topped with a screw cap. good with pesto but would be great with seafood. I see these bottles about once a decade but will pick up the remaining 3 bottles when next up that way.

Nice!
I have not yet seen a bocksbeutel with a screwcap. I do have some with the glass stoppers.

I love that bottle shape!

Must be a function of what gets imported to the US.
My sister-in-law lives in Franken and drinks lots of the wines (admittedly mostly lower level stuff). But the bottles are often around when we visit, and seeing a bocksbeutel that is not a screwcap is a rarity.
