A youthful Riesling, with dominant lemon flavours. Bright pale straw colour with subtle green hue. Lifted aromatic nose of spice, lime, lanolin followed by a floral end note. The very crisp acid structure gives this wine a razor like sense of precision with long lemon lime flavours which persist into the aftertaste.
