Very hard wine to figure out. On the nose notes of petrol, almost like a German Riesling, but also cloyingly sweet, like freshly made cotton candy. On the palate it’s bone dry and very acidic. Unusual but not my fave.

Medium to high acidity without much in the way of other complementary flavor factors that take it from good to great.

Balanced sweet and crisp. Slightly on the sweet side. Buttery, slightly oaky.

Super drinkable, not sweet. Surprising for a Riesling. Good pairing wine with Indian or Thai food.
