RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

...smells beautifully of fresh lemon and lime, pungent hedge flowers and herbs... ...has a clarity and class all its own. Citrus, yellow plum, distilled red fruits, almond extract, flowers and herbs billow across the palate...

95Vinous / IWC

...vibrancy and finesse to the wine's crystal-clear fruit expression...

92Wine Spectator

A big, lush Riesling, with concentrated flavors of peach, Fuji apple and spice. This also shows hints of fig, with a long finish featuring plenty of cream and mineral notes.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Smaragd

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
