Pleasantly surprised by this! Very pale ruby color. You can definitely taste the trousseau and mondeuse in this blend. Juicy red fruit up front, swedish berry gummies, pink peppercorn, dried autumn leaves. Low tannins. Delicious! — 6 days ago

A lot of "new plastic pool toy" in the nose, followed by lime, spice and white flowers. Palate is dense and complex. Very mineral driven with that pool toy petrol leading into overripe lemon, spiced wild honey and river stones. Very pretty Riesling. — 13 days ago
