Reviews and Ratings

Bill Wright Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A brilliant light straw colour and light to medium bodied Riesling. Notes of cirrus fruits particularly lime. On the palate it is just like biting into a Granny Smith apple; clean and crisp. The firm acid is nicely balanced with a slight residual sweetness.
The finish is medium length apple all the way.
This wine would go well with simply prepared chicken or soft cheeses.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Crisp and clean. Aromas are fresh and primarily citrus and green apple. Acid is bright, apple is predominant on the palate, with a bit of honey-like sweetness that comes through on the palate. Pair with fish or seafood dishes finished with citrus.
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 83/100 with the following review:

Light yellow color!

Notes of lime, tangerine and honey.

The residual sugar with thew acidity make this wine balanced and clean.
The finish is medium.

Pair it with sushi or spicy dishes.

Serve it at 8-10 degrees.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
