For this style of slightly-sweeter Riesling, we aim for balance between acidity and residual sugar. With the higher degree of residual sugar you also find lower alcohol which is also part of the charm. This "sweeter" Riesling is perfectly balanced and a perfect pairing with spicy Asian food. For people who are familiar with old world styles of Riesling, the Reserve #198 will remind them of those clean, bright and satisfying sweeter wines. Its acidity will enable it to age and improve in the bottle for many, many years to come.
