Medium yellow with reflections of gold. Very Hiedler and very good, this offers lush, rounded and ripe - but not overripe - aromas of yellow apple, quince, Anjou pear, cantaloupe, lemon curd, a touch of nutty development and lots of crushed rock minerality. This is surely recognizable as Riesling but in that signature buxom style. Medium to full bodied on the palate with nearly high acidity, this is simultaneously rich and curvy and crisp. I remember tasting this a couple years ago and thinking it was a little flat, but this bottle proves otherwise.

Stands out from the always excellent Skurnick Riesling portfolio. From both ends of the spectrum, it’s neither laser sharp nor sweet and deep. It’s a powerhouse - voluptuous, creamy, luscious, and concentrated. Overtly aromatic and very grand. Think Viognier.
Orange and fleshy ripe peach with bitter fuzzy skin.

Embracing me like an old, salty, lemon meringue friend. Some lime, some herbs, some stone in there as well.
I never tire of drinking this SKU, and I drink a lot of it.

High acid, lime pith, tangerine, some pineapple, lots of salty-slate mineral. Concentrated and harmonious. Would love to stash a few bottles for 2027.

Full body Riesling. Citrusy notes. Great acidity.
