๐Ÿ‘ Clear gold
๐Ÿ‘ƒMelon and citrus notes
๐Ÿ‘… Holy grapefruit pith. Much acidity. Much stony citrus power.
โœ๏ธ This one is a lemony zinger and should be paired with food.

The aromatics of a Riesling, but also an intriguing white fruit and great body and length. A beauty

Light Apple nose, apples/pears in the middle and strong lemon pip front, light biscuit back. Pretty gluggable but strong acidity so a tendency to dominate and fatigue.

17-. Very Alsatian, with depth and good mouthfeel. Perfect with white asparagus.

Clean riesling varietal profile; lemongrass, camomille, lemon juice with a hint of petrole. Mouth in tension and surely a good pairing on choucroute or european style hot-dogs. Buy and re-buy.
