Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of lime and red apple have a light oily kerosene like overlay followed by wet steel and mineral notes. Racy lime, green and red apple flavours as well of traces of orange blossom have a zingy feel across the palate. Excellent intensity with wet steel and flinty mineral elements underscoring the fruit. Dry, crisp, lip smacking finish with a long, focused steely mineral infused aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews….
From the Rheingau, the tiniest appellation in Germany.br> Honey toast, green apple, faint peach notes, bright perfume despite the fruitiness. Palate is juicy but cut well with brisk, glass shard edges, good length, vitality. Faint herb and fennel notes on green apple flavours, something talc-like, steely notes. Sheesh, this has a lot going on. Brilliant. Drink 2019-2035.

Use this crisp and elegant dry riesling as you would a Chablis, because that's the kind of dry balance and long, clean-mineral finish it has. With aeration, plenty of apples and pears fruit unfold. From organically grown grapes. Fair’n Green certification. Good aging potential. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
