Zesty lemon and lime flavours dominate the front palate with underlying crunchy green apples and a steely mineral infused finish. Steely structure with racy acidity. Long lemon, lime and steely mineral aftertaste. A Riesling that possesses excellent concentration, length and structure ensuring a long cellaring life.
