2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 10 years ago
