Tasting Notes
A refined cool-climate Riesling with vibrant aromatics and remarkable precision. Bright notes of kaffir lime, lemon rind, green apple, and nashi pear open the palate, complemented by a subtle hint of apricot nectar from delicate residual sugar. The wine carries a beautiful line and length, finishing with lingering flavors of wet stone and lemon sherbet. Youthful and expressive on release, yet structured for long-term cellaring.
