It showcases fragrant notes of lime and honeysuckle, underlain by complex minerality. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine balances a zesty acidity with a delicate sweetness, resulting in a crisp, harmonious finish. Notably, the blend comes from hand-picked, organically grown grapes. Moreover, it exhibits the charming Riesling character and complements elegant seafood dishes superbly.

Tasting Notes

This wine has gorgeous lifted aromas of jasmine, fresh lemon, and ripe Kaffir lime follow through on to the palate. Flavours of fresh lime juice, lemon sorbet and ripe grapefruit with hints of floral spice are balanced by a fine backbone of ripe acidity. This Riesling is a dry style which has excellent fruit weight and concentration to balance the lingering mineral acid structure. This wine is finely structured with great length of flavour.
