Wine review: The wine is named after two sons Christopher and Philipp. They represent the 25th generation of Schumann family winemaking. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at closely controlled temperatures in order to maintain clean purity of the Riesling fruit. Off dry, this Riesling features a low alcohol level and crisp structure. Peach and green apple aromas are followed by citrus and mineral notes on the palate.
My review: I enjoyed this Riesling; I would rank it a 7 out of 10. The aromas were very nice, dominated mostly by crisp citrus fruits. It tasted very crisp and fruity as well, like peaches and apricots, but it also had a bit of a creamy texture. It was medium-bodied and balanced, with a good amount of sweetness, low acidity, and low heat, which made it smooth to go down with a clean finish. I paired this white wine with vegetable pot-pie and the fruity/creamy texture complimented the dish very well. I would probably try this again, though it is not my favorite Riesling I've tried so far.
