One of those ones that when you taste you wonder just how they’ve managed to grow the grapes and pack so much flavour into the bottle, yet, do it in a subtle way that has you salavating at the very thought of it.
Wow! This takes refreshment to a new level! Lime fest with the zest! So many elements that you could choose to pull out, the pop of spice, hit of musk, the slatey phenolics, juicy acid, and multi-layered fruit. A superb, together Riesling.
