Tasting Notes
This Riesling presents a pale yellow robe with clear, youthful reflections. The nose is frank and inviting, offering a bouquet of citrus fruits like yuzu zest and lime, complemented by delicate white flowers and subtle spicy notes of ginger. As the wine opens, layers of pear and an intriguing mineral smokiness—reminiscent of gunflint—emerge, enhancing its fresh and racy character. On the palate, the attack is slender yet robust, with a full-bodied alcohol presence and a sharp, lively middle. The flavour profile mirrors the nose, with vibrant citrus, pear, and floral nuances intertwined with vegetal hints, ginger, and a smoky minerality. A touch of firm bitterness and pronounced vivacity frame the long, precise finish, marked by purity, structure, and refreshing crystalline minerality.
