Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Bursting out of the glass are lime, red apple skin and orange blossom scents followed by some lemon, hints of honeysuckle and wet slate notes. Mouth filling flavours of lime, pear, orange rind and honeysuckle overlay red apple and stony mineral characteristics. Excellent concentration and shape with energetic acidity and an off dry finish that’s long and moreish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

A creamy and beautiful riesling with sliced spiced pears and green apple aromas and flavors. Medium body. Off dry. Slate and mineral undertones. Green melon, too. More like a dry wine. Drink now.
