This is another belter from these guys. The vintage was very small and very fast, so the wine has excellent concentration and fruit weight while still retaining the typical Trevelen acidity and fine lines that characterise this rather special little vineyard. It shows lime and lemon rind with a hint of tangerine fruits. If you’re not usually a riesling drinker this one might turn you with its slightly more generous palate weight. And like all the whites from Trevelen Farm, they age brilliantly.
