RATINGS

Delicate aromas of orange, smoked meat and nut oil. Refined but quite discreet, even closed, today. Not at all a showy Riesling...The elegantly spicy finish offers a nice interplay of sweet fruits and mineral salts.

Flint, silky, dense. Very, very fruity and curranty. Flinty, dry spine. Very pure! Very embryonic.

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
