"Lemon, grapefruit and apple are boldly announced in the nose, along with intimations of chalk dust and Grüner Veltliner-like pepper. Vividly and brightly juicy, the polished mid-palate evinces a welcome sense of lift (even at 12.5% alcohol), and the finish a fascinating call and response of fruit and mineral elements as well as invigorating fruit pit piquancy and peppery bite. Look for this to gain in complexity with time in bottle."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A historic Riesling region along the Rhine, producing racier, often drier wines of structure and mineral depth from south-facing slopes.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
