GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% RIESLING ALCOHOL BY VOLUME: 13%
Appearance: Clear, medium lemon. Clean nose of medium(+) intensity, developing. Aroma characteristics: green, citrus and (subtle) stone fruit (ripe pear, fresh lime, peach) with a marked minerality (petrol, wet stone) and ligther floral notes (white flower). Dry on the palate with medium(+) acidity. Medium alcohol, medium bodied. Medium(+) intensity. Aroma characteristics are mirrored on the palate - with the addition of a light, tropical fruit-note (kiwi). Medium(+) length.
A very good, dry riesling. In some ways similar to those bone-dry, moderately acidic and lime flavoured versions from Australia, though a bit creamier and higher in viscosity. Ready to drink, but can improve. 90/100

Popped and poured at fridge temp. A nice golden yellow colour, some spritz in it. The nose is very nice, tropical fruit and melon, wonderful rounded aromas. The palate is fresh apple with nice acidity but also a somewhat oily texture. I must say, I enjoyed this wine a lot, it went well with oven baked trout and a wild mushroom sauce. 50+5+10+15+8=88

Really nice Riesling. Good minerality combined with beautiful structure. Very, very good value for money.
