A multitude of lime notes – juice, zest and cordial – apple blossom, fresh-cut apple, grapefruit pith and a splash of aromatic lavender abound in this delightful young Riesling. It’s already looking good and ready to go. A little more concentration of fruit is in the wings and will come with further time in bottle, but it’s delivering everything you expect from this noted Riesling maker and region. There’s a lovely tension on the palate underpinned by a brisk lemony, juicy acidity that is particularly inviting, refreshing, sip after sip.
