Pfalz, Germany. “On the tongue the Riesling delivers the fresh sharpness you'd expect from the high acid 2010 vintage, but it does so in a very precise way that is not overpowering and nicely balanced by a more robust, earthy soft depth - calling it Pfalz is quite apt, I think. It is a nice blend of lean/sharp and juicy with great herbal spicing (almost tobacco) and citrus. This made it a great companion to fried squid marinated in chilli and lemon, but the spicy mineral and herb are interesting enough in their own right. Definitely worth the money, and then some. Forget about the summer wine nonsense..."
