The 2015 Loibner Riesling Federspiel is lovely aromatic and ripe on the elegant and very distinguished nose (as if it were a Muskateller). Medium-bodied, round and piquant this is an expressive, salty and stimulating Riesling that's just perfect to drink today. With 12.5% alcohol, this wine is on the upper level of the light Federspiel category. A beauty that would be a cash cow in any restaurant that offers it by the glass. Drink it young, but calculate a bottle per person.
