Dragonstone Riesling
Great minerality and a nice middle ground between super low alcohol mosel and more full bodied Riesling.

Oct 25th, 2016Being from the the Rheingau, fruit and flowers are the stars here. You still get that signature petrol and minerality, but they take a supporting role. Ripe melon and a plethora of lovely florals come through - elderflower, honeysuckle, hibiscus and ginger all present. Not as much acid on the palate as I would expect. It's playful but doesn't possess that razor sharp precision you would get from a top Mosel Riesling.

Jul 10th, 2016Yes. So good and just plain fun to drink.

Jan 28th, 2016Really smoky, petrol forward notes then bright white peaches, orange oil and gravel. Perceptible sweetness but the acid total masks that this wine sits at around 40g/l residual sugar
