Riesling
79/100
The short takeA solid everyday glass. Apple and grape are plain, the sip is noticeably sweet and soft, and a light spritz sits with Riesling acidity. The finish is simple, which makes it easy to drink and keeps it from developing any further.

In the glass
- Nose
- Apple and grape, stated plainly and kept as those two fruits. The aroma names them, holds them a moment, and stops.
- Palate
- Noticeably sweet, soft, and fruity, with a light spritz under the fruit. Apple and grape carry through the sip. Riesling acidity is in the same mouthful, recognizable beside the sugar. The bead is light, a small lift, and the texture stays soft.
- Finish
- Simple. Fruit and sweetness leave, and no further flavor takes their place. The exit is tidy, which is easy to drink and is also the limit of the glass.

How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
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.
The wine
A light spritz keeps the first sip from sitting still. It is a small bead under apple and grape, and it lifts a wine that is soft and noticeably sweet.
Apple and grape are stated plainly. They are the smell, and they are the fruit in the mouth. They stay those two fruits from the aroma through the sip. You know what is in the glass.
Sweetness leads, and it is noticeable. Softness is the feel of that sugar: fruity and easy. Riesling acidity is in the same mouthful, recognizable as the grape’s acid, beside the sweetness. The spritz puts a little air under that sweet middle. Sugar, acid, and the bead are the structure. The fruit is how you recognize them.
Then the wine is finished. The ending is simple. The exit is tidy, which makes it easy to drink and sets the limit of the bottle. This dealcoholized Riesling is a clear modest glass: apple and grape you can point to, a sweet soft middle, a light spritz, and acidity that still tastes like Riesling. It goes straight through. When the sip ends, so does the wine. Pour it when sweet fruit and a little spritz are enough.
79 sits below the median of the 19 dealcoholized Riesling bottles we've tasted.
