About

Ratings:

95

"An amazing nose of minerals, flint, flowers and honeydew melon. Full body, yet lively and fresh with gorgeous fruit and acidity balance. Tastes like a Riesling from the very best vineyards of the Middle Mosel in Germany such as Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Made from ungrafted vines. Drink now."

"The 2011 Riesling is wonderfully expressive even at this young stage, with a good intensity of floral, jasmine and peach blossom notes over a core of lime slices and grapefruit peel. Light-bodied and on the dry side in terms of style, it has just enough residual sugar to counter the crisp acidity and finishes long and minerally. Drink this one 2013 to 2019+. "
