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.

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.
