From the Herrenberg, high above the Treppchen, Schmitges- 2006 Riesling - labeled -feinherb- in Germany but not the States, displays orange citricity and a stony mineral diffusion. This isn't notably sweet, but the residual sugar having brought down the alcohol makes this more expressive, juicy, and ultimately (for those of an open and experimental mind) more useful in accompanying diverse cuisine. There is still a sense of stuffing (no Kabinett-type this) as well as stony underpinnings. Furthermore, this is an excellent value. A measure of the advantages of a small, ambitious family winery with lots of local connections, Schmittges was able to pick his entire crop in just nine days.Importers include: Dee Vine Wines, San Francisco, CA tel.
