Incredibly intense yet laser light. Lots of minerality and layers with flavours of Asian pear and why peach. A gorgeous, mouth-watering lime finish.

Riesling food pairings: creamy camembert and fresh breads; spiced shrimp skewers; sushi; grilled white fish; sautéed scallops with a cauliflower risotto; steamed mussels; lightly spiced curry dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Clear and bright with site specific aromas of wet stone and mineral, accented by pear and citrus.
An off-dry, medium-bodied Riesling exhibiting juicy sweet acidity.
Flavours of tangerine, orange, peach and pineapple excite the palate.
Juicy orange and lemon drop flavours linger on the off-dry finish.
