Appraisal:

So far, I have liked most of the wines from Kloster Eberbach. It is a State winery of Hessen and they tend to make a quality product. This wine was no exception. Here the sweet fruit flavor compliments the lemon terrior properly. It has a sweet fruit flavor up front and a bite in the back of the throat. You can feel the warmth going all the way down to you stomach.

Taste: fruit, light citrus
