WTN: A German Riesling/Weissherbst & A Suisse Chasselas...(s

Tried these three over the last few days:
1. Weingut Spreitzer 101 Riesling VDP: Gutswein Rheingau (11.5%; Q; A.P.Nr. 2 9101 004 22) Josef Spreitzer/Oestrich 2021: Light yellow color; very fragrant R/mango/floral/pineapple slight valve oil/pungent slight stony/flinty quite pretty nose; very tart/tangy strong R/mango/floral/gardenias rather flinty/stony/steely slightly off-dry (0.5%-0.7% r.s.) quite pretty R flavor; very long rather tart strong R/floral/mango/pineapple slight valve oil off-dry some steely/flinty/stony finish; reminds more of a Mosel R than a Rheingau; quite a pretty R at a very good price. $19.00 (SFW&S)

2. L'Alpage Chasselas HautVin Suisse Ad'OC: LaCote/Mont-Sur-Rolle (12.0%; EricSolomonSlctns/Charlotte) Schenk/Rolle/Suisse 2020: Very light yellow/near colorless color; very light rather watery very slight earthy/floral slight metallic pretty vapid nose; quite tart/tangy/some metallic rather watery/vapid very slight earthy/floral dull flavor; med.short quite tart/tangy/some metallic slight stony/earthy rather dull/vapid finish; a white with virtually no redeeming features; dull & vapid; very overpriced for water let alone wine. $23.00 (SFW&S)

3. Hexamer Spatburgunder Weissherbst (12.5%; Q; A.P.Nr. 7 745 028 014 21; SkurnikWines/NY) Meddersheim 2020: Med. copper/salmon color; pleasant lightweight grapey/bit Pinotish/appley rather stony/chalky fairly quiet nose; quite tart/tangy bit metallic/steely some grapey/bit Pinotish fairly stony/chalky/bit earthy simple flavor; med. very tart/tangy/metallic/steely light grapey/Pinotish/earthy fairly stony/chalky/mineral finish; a pleasant/quiet rather stony rose but nothing more. $23.00 (SFW&S)
_____________________________________
More zirpelsocc from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. The Chaaselas was very disappointing for an EricSolomon wine. The most widely planted grape in Suisse, also known as Fendant. Reputedly the ideal accompaniment to raclette or fondue. This wine would not have survived the match.

Never had a Weissherbst that made me want another glass.
