Reviews and Ratings

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A wild and expressive nose, so tropical and floral/citrus blossom, and some notes very reminiscent of Tokaji, especially honey, peach, and orange blossom. Very dry with vibrant and mouthwatering acidity. Palate adds lemon and citrus to the mix while some of those floral tones hang on through the finish. As much fun to taste as the comic book label is to read. Delightful with grilled sea bass or tilapia with mango onion salsa.
Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This Riesling has an interesting mineral nose with a touch of green apple. Not as sweet as you might expect from a German Riesling it is actually rather tart on the palate. Crisp and dry, try this food friendly wine with summer salads with goat cheese. Tasted June 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
Produced by the Ress Family, Ressi Rhein is a bright and zesty Riesling with citrus zest and honeyed stone-fruit flavours on the palate. Vibrant acidity for food. Pair with grilled pork chops and spaetzle. - Community Wine Reviews
