What to taste in Rheingau?

Classic dry Riesling with pronounced acidity and aromas of citrus fruits and smoke-tinged minerality, typically more "masculine" than its equivalent from the Mosel. Spätburgunder is an elegant, velvety red wine with a distinctive bouquet reminiscent of bitter almonds or blackberries.
Ranging from ruby to garnet red, Rheingauer (Spätburgunder) sparkling wines are slightly tannic, mild in acidity, and have a long finish with aromas reminiscent of blackberry and cherry. A really good icewine/Eiswein is a combination of the most clarified form of grape juice and a punch in the nose, so vibrant is the acidity!
