Description
This wine is pure joy. It's made from 110-year-old ungrafted vines, which produce tiny and concentrated berries. There are aromas of honeysuckle, stone-fruit and cool minerals on the nose. The attack is vibrant with ripe fruit underpinned by crystalline acidity, which forms the backbone of this wine. A natural sweetness and density on the mid-palate is tempered by an inherent freshness and minerality. This makes a wonderful apéritif to whet the appetite, but also pairs well with seafood and fresh fruit. While delicious now, this wine will reward patient cellaring over the next two decades.

About this wine
Riesling
Riesling's twin peaks are its intense perfume and its piercing crisp acidity which it manages to retain even at high ripeness levels.
