A multitude of lime notes – juice, zest and cordial – apple blossom, fresh-cut apple, grapefruit pith and a splash of aromatic lavender abound in this delightful young Riesling. It’s already looking good and ready to go. A little more concentration of fruit is in the wings and will come with further time in bottle, but it’s delivering everything you expect from this noted Riesling maker and region. There’s a lovely tension on the palate underpinned by a brisk lemony, juicy acidity that is particularly inviting, refreshing, sip after sip.

Jasmine, citrus blossom, gardenia, and camomile rise from the glass, forming a pretty and poised bouquet. Underneath the abundant floral aromas lie bright notes of lime zest, nashi pear, and honeydew melon with beeswax, talc, and ginger lending complexity and intrigue. The palate is driven by a vibrant acidity that coats the mouth while elements of lemon pith and wet quartz add a textural dimension. Mid-palate, richer fruit flavours of white nectarine and Meyer lemon emerge adding depth. A wine of great presence, ripeness and length of flavour, drink it now to enjoy its lively acidity and tantalising fruit profile or cellar for up to 20 years to savour the layers of flavour yet to be revealed.
Serve with whiting and crab nori roulade in tempura, or crispy asparagus wontons with lime kasundi. Drink now or cellar for up to 20 years.
