| Tasting Notes |
This wine displays concentrated aromas of citrus fruit, banana and yellow fruit. When young, the taste is fresh and crisp with the acidity balanced by a fine structure. The aftertaste is particularly silky and smooth. "A lifted sense of lemon-zest purity precedes juicy lemon and peach notes on this wine's nose. The palate adds crushed yarrow to the lemon-rind concentration that gives it lift and extra aromatic dimension. The body is toned, pervasive and bold. (AK)" Score: 95, Wine Enthusiast, Nov 2020 "The effusive nose of white peach is a little deceptive, because this dry riesling has a full and rather firm body, the minerals glittering at the bright yet structured finish. Well suited to serving with fish dishes. From organically grown grapes." Score: 93, James Suckling, Nov 2020 |
