Description
In the glass it is limpid, of an intense yellow color with greenish reflections; on the nose there are fruity hints reminiscent of pear and peach and floral scents such as acacia flowers and hawthorn. After half a year there are more mineral notes, in some cases accentuated by the typical scent of hydrocarbons, which characterizes the wine. In the mouth it is soft, balanced and in the finish there is a good acidity that gives length and persistence to the palate.

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.
