"Medium green-yellow. This full-bodied, multifaceted medium green-yellow riesling is a true Austrian classic. The country's prototypical style for this variety is expressed in its transparent purity of fruit and concentrated aromas and flavors of ripe yellow peach, passion fruit and mandarin orange. A brilliant acid backbone provides a perfect counterpoint to the wine's full body and sheer depth of fruit, with the bracing flavors of white peach, lemon verbena and wet stone lingering long on the gripping finish. This is a wine for the coming decades."

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.
