| TASTING NOTE: The stand-out characteristic of this riesling is the vibrant, juicy acidity. It's there on the assertive attack and it persists through the palate, keeping the wine refreshing and clean from start to finish. After the initial attack, the acidity is joined by well-defined and quite concentrated fruit that reveals layers of flavours. It's a very attractive riesling at a good price. Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) (Rod Phillips, winealign.com, Aug. 2014) |
