Smells clean & quite dry out of the bottle. Crushed wet stone, melon, fresh sprouts, citrus and a touch of honey. Shows more fruit as it warms, really crisp and refreshing but the lack of petrol is a detracting element for me.

Aromatic honeydew, earthiness, & ripe stone fruits. Nice balance & length. Quite dry, & leaves you wanting more.

Super crisp up front but finishes a bit silky. This needs to be revisited a lot over the summer

Excellent balance and acidity. Pairs well with Thai and Vietnamese food.

My New favorite Riesling! A beautiful, very dry, German Riesling! Bright and crisp, yet somehow still silky. Take this one to the bank.
