About the Villa Wolf Forster Pechstein Riesling Dry 2010 750ml
Riesling has also been stereotyped as just a sweet grape, used only to make sticky wines. But while botrytized Rieslings are among the finest sweet wines in the world, the majority of global Riesling wines are either dry or off-dry.
Young dry Riesling wines tend to be very light in color, sometimes pushing into light gold hints, depending on the region and winemaking. Sweeter styles tend to be considerably more yellow/golden in hue.
Aroma
Most distinctive is Riesling's aroma, due mainly to its high levels of monoterpenes (as is the case with Muscat, for instance). Riesling on the nose can run the gamut from citrus (lemon and/or limes are frequently noted), candle wax, white blossom and sheep's wool/lanolin to honeyed, sometimes musky and spicy notes in botrytised or partially botrytised fruit.
Aged Rieslings – and younger Rieslings grown in warmer climates – can also show a petrol-like aroma, often described as kerosene. This is due to a compound known as TDN (1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene) that develops over time in aged Rieslings and is increasingly noted in younger, warm-climate, often New World wines.
