  A light golden/hay colour. Notes of some yeast , lemon drops, pineapple.
  Medium weight for a Riesling. Lemony, with bright pineapple, touch of lime and lime pith bitterness. Slightly off dry, but really sharp acidity. Crisp and tangy …. zingy. Refreshing. A tug of war with fruit vs acidity and acidity is winning. Delicious. Still primary with some secondary sneaking in.

  Big wine. Fleshy, yet crisp lime, granny smith. Long finish. Bracing acidity. Lots of life left.

  A light golden/hay colour. Notes of some yeast and petrol, lemon drops, pineapple.
  Light to medium weight for a Riesling. Lemony, with bright pineapple, slight petrol element. Crisp and tangy …. zingy. Refreshing. A tug of war with fruit vs acidity. Delicious. Still primary with some secondary sneaking in. It will be interesting to see in a few more years.
