One of Germany’s superstar producers. Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Scents of lime and red apple intermingle with light honeysuckle, subtle toast and flinty slate like notes. Texturally rounded, zesty lime, crunchy apple and orange blossom flavours are to the fore with subtle honeysuckle, lemon and flinty mineral characters filling out the rear. Finishes dry with crisp refreshing acidity providing plenty of zip. Medium to long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews….
This is a really pretty riesling with bright lemon curd, orange blossom and lime cordial. Signature minerality and depth for this price point; this is a medium-to full-bodied riesling with smooth, textural appeal, but a vivacious backbone of acidity. Drink now.
