Beautifully balanced aged riesling that’s elegant, crisp and pure. Developing some aged kero-like notes with lifted citrus notes.

A pure classic varietal. The nose is shy and not giving much away except hints of florals. The vibrant palate is quite drying and austere but delicious with a delicate phenolic grip. Needs time
