Brilliant water like colour with a light tinge of green around the outskirts. Elevated aromatics of fresh lime and citrus intermingle with green apple, talc and chalky mineral notes. Intensely flavoured with fresh limes, citrus and crunchy green apple characters the palate has a light snappy feel to it. Finishes dry and crisp with delicate talc infusions, wet steel and mineral. Long lime, citrus, green apple, wet steel and mineral aftertaste.

Other Reviews....
Bright, light quartz-green; this wine is the result of the union between a remarkable vineyard and a great winemaker. It's truly difficult to imagine a riesling with greater purity and effortless intensity than this wine, only its Reserve sibling showing the way. You don't even notice the fact the wine is bone dry but has fruit to live and prosper for decades. Bargain++ Drink by 2032.
