Tasting Notes:
At first this Riesling’s aromas are dashing, well-stated and floral, opening with hints of lily of the valley, elderflower, and lively citrus zest. With age it takes on rocky hints of flint, tinder, hydrocarbons. The perfectly dry flavor detonates with life, energy and a clearly stated attack that remains without greenness and opens the appetite. Lemon, lime and yusu zest roll around the mouth right up to the acidic, delicate and addictive final note.
