  12% (screwcap)
  A very pale straw colour. Superb, fresh, pure riesling nose - lemony citrus, a hint of pear, a faint hint of kerosene, and with a dominant stony minerality.
  Quite light on the attack, but then it develops quite a mouthfilling feel with lots of minerality. It's absolutely bone dry, but without the savage austerity of some German trockens - in that it's got a bit of an Austrian feel to it, if you must pin it down to the style of a riesling from another country. There are some very stony, slatey flavours, which combine with a lovely acidity. Possibly a hint more fruit might have been beneficial? Though that would be turning it into something more Germanic. But still very good indeed and also a very interesting take on riesling.
