Classic bouquet, aromatic, ripe, fresh and enticing scents of red and green apple, lemon and white flowers. A mineral core of wet stone adds complexity. An off-dry wine touches the palate with a seam of sweetness immediately contrasted by acidity and citrus flavours. The apple and floral and indeed mineral qualities all rush back into focus soon after. Balanced, well-made and delicious. I wish more people could discover Riesling. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2030.
