Pale lemon/lime colored with a watery sheen (12.5% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of lemon peel, crushed seashells, tangerine pith, peach and a slight hint of petroleum (I had to really look for that one). The palate is dry with high acidity and a light body. The citrus, minerality and hint of stone fruit are evident alongside some quince. It is very refreshing and the acidic cut is very precise. The finish is medium in length and makes me clamber for another sip, it’s really yummy on a hot summer day. I would pair this 92 point wine with Alfredo, grilled shrimp or even roasted Pork belly. For $38 this delicious Riesling gets 5 stars from me. Drink till 2030. Salut….
