Lago Ranco Riesling 2017
Young with lots of primary aromas of green fruit (apple, lime) and a slight peach aroma.
Mix in a wiff of plastic (think clare valley) some sea salty-minerality a crisp, young acidity dosed with a very slight sweetness makes this an excellent companion to food (anyone for ceviche?).
Very young, but still enjoyable now. — 6 years ago

Actually from Casa Silva. I agree that it has more grapefruit than most Riesling but I dig it. — 6 years ago
