"This is still quite closed and, on day one, does not offer much beyond slightly cooked pear, melon and apples with little tension to back these flavors up in the after-taste. It is only on day two and three that this shows its real potential and a fresher side driven by elderflower and orchard fruit paired to some wet stone minerals comes through. This then turns into a truly superb SpÀtlese-styled off-dry effort with good tension and presence."

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.
