| Verdict | Green apple, pear, peach, and citrus over lively acidity — slight sweetness, mineral finish, fresh and clean. | Dealcoholized Riesling with apple and grape, a noticeably sweet and soft sip, a light spritz, and Riesling acidity. The finish is simple. | A gently sweet, light Mosel Riesling with apricot, apple and citrus, a rounded texture and moderate persistence. | Rounded lemon and pear fruit, gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity, with a lingering citrus-mineral finish and a delicate saline edge. |

| Likeness | Good: recognizably Riesling — orchard fruit, acid, and a mineral edge; sweetness is present but controlled. | Apple, grape, and Riesling acidity read as wine. Softness and a simple exit make an easy glass, and the spritz adds a little life without making it a sparkler. | — | Recognizable Riesling fruit and acidity, with a mineral-saline close, give the glass a familiar varietal character. |
