| Verdict | Giesen makes full-strength New Zealand Riesling first, removes the alcohol with spinning cone technology, and keeps the lime-and-mandarin varietal core intact. | A gently sweet, light Mosel Riesling with apricot, apple and citrus, a rounded texture and moderate persistence. |

| Likeness | Unmistakably Riesling before it is a lighter wine. Lime, citrus blossom, and mandarin stay bright over an off-dry frame. The citric close is fresh, and shorter than a bottle that still has its alcohol. | — |
