Bischoflichen Weinguter Dom Riesling 2014, Mosel, Germany: Wow this wine combines racy acidity with natural fruit sweetness in perfect balance. Lime blossom, honeydew and lemongrass. Very exciting and food friendly. The bracing acidity means that this wine doesn't really taste as sweet as it is technically in the medium sweet category. It's more off dry perceptually and therefore will pair well with less sweet desserts such as biscotti and a fruit cobbler, as well as main dishes with some sweetness such as chutney and glazed ham. Riesling food pairings: fruit-based desserts, pastries, chocolate mousse, honey cake. Drink: 2016 - 2021 359596 9.5% MS 750 mL $18.95 Score: 92/100. April 2017.
