A sweet lychee bouquet with a lovely perfumed lift. The palate is simple and straightforward but has excellent flavour intensity and very good backbone of crisp acidity.

Full of youthful impact, this is a medium style of riesling (23 grams/litre residual sugar) with fresh lemon/lime flavours, showing good intensity and vigour, a lovely sugar/acid balance, and a long finish. Already approachable, it’s a tightly structured wine, well…

Freshly scented, lively and tangy, this medium-bodied wine has intense lemon/lime flavours, a minerally streak and a finely poised, dryish, very long finish. Full of personality and potential, it’s certified organic.
