Description
Versatile in pairing, it complements fish, crustaceans, and seafood, as well as white meats and Asian cuisine. Best served chilled, it is perfect for warm summer evenings or as an aperitif. The wine has a light golden-yellow color with subtle greenish reflections. On the nose, it is fresh and slightly aromatic, with fruity notes of white peach and apricot, complemented by delicate hints of rose and citrus. On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and medium-bodied, with a juicy, mineral character. The finish is long and lingering.

Varietal
Riesling
Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany’s ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very ‘terroir expressive’ varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of ‘fine’ white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
