Straw color. Nose: grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and Asian pear with accents of wet flint, almond, white flowers, and petrol. Medium/lighter body on the palate: grapefruit, Asian pear, and ripe lemon framed by river stone, almond, vanilla, and sugarcane. Medium+ acidity. Lingering almond, river stone, and pear skin on the moderate finish. Crisp and straightforward with compelling mineral qualities. Good as an aperitif or paired with light seafood/chicken. Nice value. Drink now.

Unique wine. Mineral nose, almost hints of butter and oak, though I am sure it is unoaked. Nuts and minerals -- very little fruit. Dry, crisp, high acidity. Worth a try.

fresh acidity, bitter almond. Not much in the way of fruit, but one wouldn't expect to much from a grape usually known for making sherry. Like a light refreshing fino. Nice texture and length.

Crisp and suitable complement to crab. Good acidity and flavor far beyond it's price point.

This is a pleasant, light riesling that actually tastes like riesling, at a great QPR.
