Brilliant pale straw colour with a greenish tinge to the outskirts and a watery hue. Elevated lime, spicy green apple and subtle mandarin scents meld into slatey mineral and citrus notes. Intense lime, crunchy red apple and honeysuckle flavours are beautifully textured sitting over a slate and flinty mineral base. The dry, zingy finish shows excellent length right through to the mouth watering slate and mineral infused aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
A striking dry riesling with an extremely filigree and mineral character and a long and sleek, graceful and polished finish. From organically grown grapes. Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
