Tasting notes
Great stony Riesling character and fabulous pure lime fruit. Showing some curd and marmalade character too. Medium viscosity and refreshing acid. Lovely herby floral notes. Very good indeed. (RH)

Bright straw. Zesty citrus fruits and white flowers on the high-toned nose. Dry and tangy, even tart, offering tight grapefruit and green apple flavors and a hint of white pepper. Closes with good energy and strong cut, with a finishing note of bitter citrus zest.
The 2012 Riesling gives notes of fresh lemon juice and green apples with suggestion of lime zest and orange blossom. Light-bodied, dry and with a good line of zingy acid, it has a good amount of citrus flavor on offer in the mouth and a long zesty finish. Drink it now to 2016+.
