...can be a little difficult to come to terms with. It comes in many forms, but is usually very delightful. Some wines almost have a salty component that enhances the flavour or acts as a balance to sweetness. There is salty minerality that reminds me of speck, sometimes you get bacon; or there is a more flint stone or dusty minerality. Recently I had a few sweeter wines that had strong mineral in the finish, which very nicely balanced the sweetness.
In the end though, you will have to experience it. When you next visit these parts of the world, I will make sure to have a mineral Riesling beast waiting for you.
