A classic Watervale Riesling in lime, lemon citrus and white floral aromatics that truly sings. Top quality unwooded Riesling rests purely on the quality of fruit alone. Quality is undoubtedly high here as it introduces layers of citrus, cut lime, lime skin, bath talc, ginger and light spice amid a lemon sour brisk acidity. It gets the tastebuds working, believe me. Finishes on a high note of dusty bitter lemon sorbet. Overall, a fine delicacy of Riesling resides here.
