Clear, very very pale gold in the glass. Clean, medium-plus intensity citrus, particularly grapefruit, and a hint of pear. Just off-dry, high acidity and light body.

In the glass this is clear, pale gold with a hint of green. Nose is clean, medium-plus intensity mix of floral, grapefruit, pear, and a distinctive Okanagan grassy-sage aroma (I grew up in south central BC). Dry with a hint of residual sugar—one can discern Joie’s Riesling grapes fighting through—but dominated by citrus—lemon, grapefruit, and [...]
Clear, light-to-medium gold in the glass. Nose is clean, medium intensity stone fruit, slate-mineral, and apple-spice. Off-dry to medium sweet; high acidity; medium body. Very nicely balanced minerality, agave nectar, and ripe fruits. Good length. 10% alcohol. Very enjoyable; I recommend this one. $42 at Liberty Wine Merchants. See Weingüter der Vereinigten Hospitien Trier. Drinking this [...]
Clear, pale-to-medium lemon-gold in the glass. Clean, medium-plus intensity citrus, slight floral, and apricot aromas. Dry, high acidity, again with lemon and stone fruit, along with a bit of fresh green apple and floral notes. Medium length and 13% alcohol. Overall very good; recommended—this is a very appealing nicely balanced Aussie Riesling. $30 at Crosstown. [...]
Clear, pale gold in the glass. Clean, medium intensity apple, stone fruit, and mineral aromas. Off-dry verging on medium sweet; high acidity and medium bodied, with a nicely balanced apricot, citrus, and an appealing minerality. Medium length with a nice lemony-sweet finish. 20% alcohol. Straightforward but enjoyable; overall good, and one of the better Mosel-style [...]
Clear, pale-plus lemon-gold in the glass. Clean, medium intensity floral-perfume aroma with a background of apple and mineral. Dry, high acidity, and light-plus body. The palate doesn’t reflect the nose, and is dominated by sharp minerality and lemon. Medium finish with lingering acidity. 12% alcohol. Straightforward and an enjoyable enough Alsatian Riesling, but a bit [...]
Clear, medium lemon-gold appearance. Clean, medium intensity citrus, spices, a hint of honey, and a bit of earthiness on the nose. Dry with a bit of residual sugar, medium body, and dominated by an intense acidity, the palate is almost all lemon and grapefruit; there is a bit of a yeasty or earthy/dusty quality as [...]
Clear, pale gold in the glass. Clean, appealing medium-plus intensity citrus, stone fruit, and mineral-slate aromas. Sweet, high acidity, and medium body: honey and apricot, green fruit, and citrus—well balanced with good length. Overall good; recommended. This was a gift from my father, and I haven’t looked up the price. See Weingut Schloss Lieser (warning: Flash on [...]
Clear, pale gold appearance. Clean, medium intensity citrus-honey with an obvious wet grassy aroma. Just off-dry, with medium-plus acidity and medium body. Lime, mineral, and quite fruity; a little muted, though. Medium length. Overall good; I’m not sure though that the balance is right here: it seems a bit dull. $28.09 at Kitsilano Wine Cellar. [...]
