Blind tasting no2. We all immediately pegged this as old world Riesling. The tell tale signs of petrol and dried apricot gave it away entirely. But we all missed Austria. Probably need to learn more about differences in common Riesling areas.

Clear and bright straw yellow with powerful petrol fumes. Off dry but medium-high acidity with a low-medium body. Dried apricots with some slate completely dominate the flavors. It’s not complex, but has a good finishing length. Riesling for certain. Austria? Wouldn’t know!

Tangy lime peel and flinty. Somewhat straightforward but in a good way. Incredibly refreshing

A little diesel with fresh citrus blend and citrus blossom on the nose. Lots's of citrus; lemon, lime & lemon zest, lemon parfait, grapefruit with pit, touch of pineapple, touch of honey, super refined chalky minerality, yellow lilies, touch of flintiness & diesel, high acidity and round, full, juicy finish.

A solid, but not revolutionary riesling. Worth the money. Excellent ginger and lemongrass notes.

Tart green apples and lime. Minerality with a hint of salinity. I want more. Yummy #riesling
