The cool vintage has resulted in lifted white florals that splash from the glass. Freesia and star jasmine. Apple blossom and lily pily. Curls of green apple skin, fresh lime juice and river pebble. It is charitable in fruit weight with unity between natural acidity and pulpy fruit. This has become such a reliable Riesling vintage after vintage. So well balanced that both dry and off dry Riesling lovers would be thrilled with this. Drink now with fried school prawns and will have the staying power of a decade.
