Winemaking Notes
This wine expresses a pale straw in the glass with a slight green tinge. Opens with lifted aromatics of lemon, lime and citrus blossom.
A wine of immense drive and purity, the palate displays powerful, pure fruit with great length of flavour. Citrus flavours abound. Tight, linear acidity holds the wine it great stead for the future. A magnificent benchmark dry Riesling to be enjoyed now or with careful cellaring for the next ten years.
