And this is why we like Riesling, kids. Bracing acidity with notes of lime, coriander, and a teensy bit of petrol starting to show.

Love this wine! Slight rubber hose on nose, high acid, tart citrus, long finish.

“There is so much wine packed into this $34 bottle it must be tasted to be believed- except that when you taste it, you can’t believe it! The cacophony of aromas, the richness of texture, the profundity of the minerality… Everything about it is extraordinary.” - Ian Cauble, SommSelect. Serve at 50°
