Appraisal:

This wine is rated higher than Qualitätswein but since Erben is such a huge company the quality is a bit lower than a small producer even if this bottle has a quality level of Prädikatswein. It is good and drinkable. It is not too sweet, might be best chilled on a summer day spending the day biking up and down the Rhien river.
