Pale brilliant straw-yellow. Vibrant, incisive citrus fruit, floral and mineral aromas show outstanding clarity and a deeper pear note that emerges as the wine stretches out. A pure, sharply delineated example of Riesling, offering concentrated but nervy pink grapefruit, lime and green apple flavors along with hints of honeysuckle and green tea. Closes impressively long and precise, featuring resonating citrus zest and mineral notes and a touch of bitter quinine. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Feb 2018) — 7 years ago

On the nose, extremely delicate & soft notes of citrus, fragrant flowers and soft minerality. On the palate, soft, lean lemon, lime juice, grapefruit, underripe green melon, citrus blossoms & beautiful soft minerals. The long finish is a lean but rich mellowed citrus. — 8 years ago
