On the nose, this Riesling presents itself with exotic fruitiness and very appealing yeast notes. The Dragonstone Riesling is very exotic and shows nuances of peach and apricot. The finely integrated, lively acidity is set off by ripe mirabelle notes. This Riesling is very appealing due to its freshness and presence and can certainly be seen as an entry into our fruity Riesling world.
While Johannes’ dry wines solidified his reputation in Germany and throughout Europe, no other wine made him as popular in the US as did Dragonstone. Coming from the Rüdesheimer Drachenstein, the pure quartzite soil, being a silicate, lends a saltiness to the orange citrus-flavored wine which buffers the acidity and counterbalances the palpable sugar.
