A trio of lime/citrus aromas jump out of the glass –fresh juice, grated zest, and sorbet. These are immediately followed by more subtle aromas of ripe pineapple, sage, lemongrass, and chalk dust. The palate is punchy and round with flavours of zesty lemon, lime, and spicy white pepper with a wonderful energy that sings of limestone soils. A delicious Riesling that is beautifully balanced with fresh citrus, a stony freshness and salinity that gives the wine great length. Delicious on its own or as an aperitif; it will also pair wonderfully with fresh fish, seafood, summer salads and light-medium spiced Indian or Thai cuisine. Remarkably drinkable at release, this fresh and fragrant wine will continue to develop and delight for 12+ years. (Based on 2021 vintage)
