A single-vineyard Riesling made in an off-dry style, packed with rich fruit flavours and freshness. It is practically an all-rounder food wine at the dinner table. Spicy Thai, Chinese, laksa, curry, or hot pot? Bring them on!
Generous and welcoming aromas mirror the sun-drenched vintage. Vibrant lemon zest, lime cordial, perfumed honeysuckle and a wet stone minerality. The subtle sweetness effortlessly brings weight and balances the razor-like acidity and chalky texture. It finishes dry and long. Drink it now or cellar up to 10 years if you are into a more savoury and mineral character!
