In the above video, I tasted the following three Rieslings from producer, Carl Ehrhard.

All three are gorgeous, with my favourite being the Spätlese Trocken (green label).

While the sugar level is the clear difference between the wines (dry versus sweet – see graph below), it’s worth noting it’s not the only difference.

According to Carl Ehrhard’s website,

“The quality of wines is not determined by single parameters such as acidity or alcohol, but in the overall outcome of the composition!”.

Anyway, back to the Rieslings and where you can get ‘em.
