My Scheurebe was a tad sweet!

[Bob Parsons Alberta]

TN: 2010 Koster-Wolf Scheurebe Kabinett, Rheinhessen.

SC, 9% alc, $17 Cdn, Lot # 4251 072 211 11.

Light lemon in color, nose very aromatic with apple, lycee, blackcurrant bush in the garden. No Sauv Blanc here, more of a Pinot Gris from Okanagan.
No effervescence here, sweet entry, ripe fruits..peach, pear, apple. Not cloying but enough acidity?? Lighter bodied, good balance but think I would prefer trocken style.
Interested to see how this developes over the evening.

Yup, held up really well over 3 nights. Had some riesling character on the finish day 3.
Cannot understand the link with Sauv Blanc however?

If you try a really dry one from Wittmann, Keller et al you will most likely get the idea of why people bring this up.
