Classic, fragrant, delicious.
A classic style offering crunchy green apples. lemon drops, and peach blossoms with honey and slate aromas. Fresh, with great concentration and precision; the sweetness is held in check by mouthwatering acidity. Balanced and delicious.
Pair: white meats, fresh veggie curries, Asian noodle dishes, hand-chipped fries dipped in chili aioli.
Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

Classic, fragrant, balanced.
A cohesive classic Mosel Riesling, the Fish label (named from the fish that adorns the label, created by local Johanna Waldof, a friend of owner/winemaker Johannes Selbach's, whom he visits when coming to Vancouver) doles out honey and lime, chamomile, lemon drops and peach stone aromas. The palate is as racy as the nose, this vintage has a richness and additional concentration over the previous, and delivers orchard fruits and lemon tea sweetened with honey. It's off-dry and balanced and has a lengthy finish.

Zesty, creamy, crunchy.
A classic Mosel Riesling, the Fish label is a consistently friendly white named for the fish that adorns the label. It was created by Vacouverite, Johanna Waldof, a friend of owner/winemaker Johannes Selbach's.
Notes of honey and green apples, peach, snappy lime and white blossoms lead to a zesty palate. It's off-dry as expected and riper than the 2020. It has more of a creaminess and on first taste the sweetness seems more pronounced this vintage. However, the next day I tasted it again and it seemed far more crunchy. Flavours of smoked stonefruit and stone lashed with lemon peel linger on the palate. The finish is lip=smacking

Gulpable, pristine, juicy.
A classic Mosel Riesling, the Fish label is a consistent white, which over-delivers. The wine is named for the fish that adorns the label. It was created by Vacouverite, Johanna Waldof, a friend of owner/winemaker Johannes Selbach's.
Just as pristine and gulpable as previous vintages, the 2020 leads with notes of mountain stream and green apples, chamomile, lemon drops, peach stone and lime. It's off-dry but cleans up brilliantly with snappy acidity. Zesty and crunchy on the palate, and laden with juicy citrus and tree fruits, it's as always, a delightful wine.

Pretty, delicious, juicy.
A classic Mosel Riesling, the Fish label (named from the fish that adorns the label, created by local Johanna Waldof, a friend of owner/winemaker Johannes Selbach's, whom he visits when coming to Vancouver) is a consistent white, which over-delivers. The 2019 is described by snappy green apples and lime, peach pit and wet stone with delicate floral undertones. Like the nose, the palate is bright and pretty; expect a slick texture and focus and precision with a racy lemon-lime finish.
