"This wine combines elegance and a sense of lift with depth of fruit and mineral complexity that will take you an hour to plumb. Pear, honey, red fruits, brown spices, yellow plum, grapefruit and nut oils abound on the nose and palate. The feel is glossy and incipiently oily, yet for all that, and for all of its wealth of flavors, it seems light to the touch. There is a bouncy interplay of fruits and stones. It is clear that a subtle element of botrytis is woven into the fabric of this wine."

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 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.
