A pungent and textural Riesling full of fresh-cut pears, kumquat and spicy lime sorbet. It screams giddiness and youth, as all young Rieslings should. In the mouth, the acidity is striking and linear, framing the wine and playing beautifully with the phenolics to create a chalky, sherbet-like texture. It finishes pithy and dry, with flavour that carries. Drink before the sun gets too high in the sky. Doesn’t need food.
