Tasting Note:
A precise, dry Riesling that crackles with lime zest, green apple, and white peach, layered with jasmine, ginger, and wet stone. The palate is lithe and mineral-driven, framed by mouth-watering acidity and a faint saline snap that extends the finish. Old-vine depth brings a gentle, honeyed roundness without sweetness—refreshing, textural, and cellar-worthy.
