Kurt Darting makes over a dozen different wines totaling a mere 20,000 cases from vines located in Germany’s Pfalz region. The vineyards for this delicious, dry Riesling are located near the town of Durkheim. Frankly, sometimes DRY German wines can almost seem to be lacking interest or depth of fruit, but the beauty of this wine is that it hits all the right stone fruit flavors, has lovely acidity to give it a lively feel on the palate, and does not ever seem sweet or thin. This is from a great vintage, is very versatile, and is a great value in a liter bottle.
