Second bottle. A screw cap and thought better to open but didn't recall first bottle. Well turns out to be a good New world Riesling and notable for its lack of slate notes as per German version just consumed prior. Still, great balance of acidity and fruit and certainly quite a value for the ten Ben from JR Mystery 93.

Light golden color. Lemon, Apple and melon. Good acidity with a kiss of sweetness. Thanks Thijs.

Great with spicy food, lime comes through, residual sugar that blends well with food. Pair well to enjoy

Quite strong and astringent, waxy and pineapple notes, between dry and off-dry. A bit minerally in the mouth too.

This evolved in the glass over an extended hour. At first crisp, apple acidity, followed by a rich, mellow apricot. Yummy!
