Bright straw yellow colour in the glass.
Although this wine has lovely hints of cottoncandy, rockdust and bigtime candied citrusnotes on the nose, it really impresses for combining its subdued richness, depth and complexity with a magnificent saline, savoury, stony, acidic and bonedry mouthfeel. The long and balanced finish echoes all of the above, while gorgeous citruspeel bitterness, tonic water, wet rocks, iodine and some woolly, earthy funk are added in the mix.
A wonderful example of traditional and restrained dry Riesling.
Even better after two hours of air and when served slightly warmer than refrigerator temperature.
