RATINGS

95The Wine Advocate

Luscious apple and white peach are allied to pumpkin and winter squash...fuller, more satiny in texture and more obviously extract-rich...tends toward tropical richness in its evocation of grapefruit and mango...showering cascade of crystalline mineral notes that go on to shimmer lastingly through an infectiously juicy fruit matrix, along with saliva-inducing salinity, savory nut oils and pumpkin seed.

91Vinous / IWC

Intense muskmelon, peach and apricot aromas are complemented by orange zest...good extract sweetness and subdued acidity adding pleasant zing. The long finish features notes of grapefruit and salty minerals.

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.
