Retails for about $13 to $16 in some places.
12.8% alcohol Described on label as semi-sweet.
Pale straw color.
Off dry, very pleasant sipper as an aperitif or dessert wine.
Pear and white peach notes on nose and palate along with clover honey. Seems low in alcohol although it is several percentage points higher than many Rieslings.
I would rate in high 80's as a very good wine. I actually found it hard to stop sipping it once I tasted that first sip.
