Bright straw yellow colour in the glass.
Although this wine has lovely hints of cottoncandy, rockdust and bigtime candied citrusnotes on the nose, it really impresses for combining its subdued richness, depth and complexity with a magnificent saline, savoury, stony, acidic and bonedry mouthfeel. The long and balanced finish echoes all of the above, while gorgeous citruspeel bitterness, tonic water, wet rocks, iodine and some woolly, earthy funk are added in the mix.
A wonderful example of traditional and restrained dry Riesling.
Even better after two hours of air and when served slightly warmer than refrigerator temperature.

Topaz with heavenly streamers stretching for perfection. Creamy head of structured perfection in terms of density and longevity. Perfect sheet of fog lacing falls like a slo-mo curtain to reveal layer two of mountain snows reflecting moonlight. Nose of bananas foster in all its blazing brandy and it’s caramelized olfactory topography; a malt image in sensory sepia to match the mountainscape. Nutmeg, cola and pecan dessert vies with baklava. The palate is a revelation in balance. The expected Belgian malt emerges in contrast to a dappled vanilla and Connecticut tobacco, pecan shell dryness, and chicory coffee before returning to a root tonic sweetness, and cardamom. #kwak #belgianspecialbeers #belgianale #belgianbeer #pauwelkwak #pauwelkwakbrewery #beer #bier #birra #biere #ale #ceveza #cerveja #belgium #belgian — 4 years ago

Great gin, even though I am not a fan of cucumber. So, it is certainly great for gin and tonic, but I wont sip it. — 5 years ago

Incredible. Really do you get to drink a wine with some much uniqueness and approachability. Most Chenin (100% Chenin?) from Marie Thibault. I beautiful nose of oyster water, lemon and lavender. The taste opened up into a multidimensional notes of lemon tonic, tea notes, and green apple. A true treat. — 2 years ago

Fancy label, cool buildings. Smells good. Berries, apple skins and some kinda tonic. Flavors are simple, fresh and easy. Balance is nice. Nice herbal, plant leaf stuff in the mix. Not big at all. — 4 years ago

‘Cool castle bro’ label. Deep red color. Smells like old books, dry cherries and unsweetened chocolate nibs. Flavors are strange with gun-smoke tea, fancy tonic water and berry pies. Plenty dry. Chewy. Complex. Winey, like a Winesap apple. It’s not raisin-y. It could have more depth and bite perhaps, but overall it’s very enjoyable. — 5 years ago

I know nothing about sake. This was smooth, water like with hints of flowers, herbs, gin n tonic like. — 3 years ago

short breaths will engulf you in all things lime: juice, zest, aid, ice ~ but then deeper breaths allow a spectrum including Granny Smith and Golden Delicious, tonic, minerals, blossoms, rainbow sherbet and orange marmalade resting atop shortbread

it’s like a mix of citrus juices with peach and mango nectar ~ simultaneously sharp acidity and minerality with a nearly creamy sensation ~ perplexing yet ultimately enjoyable — 4 years ago

Pale amber with aromas and flavors of fruit, blossom and honey notes. Soft yet rich with lively acidity and nice mineral component. Not overly sweet and ready to drink straight up now, but try with tonic and twist of orange, recipe on label calls for lemon twist, but orange in my opinion is much better.
