Tasting Notes

Pale yellow in colour. Rich, with notes of acacia, honey and lime on the nose. On the palate it possesses amazing concentration of fruit balanced by fine minerality and crisp acidity. An off-dry Riesling with amazing concentration and finesse. 

Food Matching: A truly noble variety and one that is surprisingly adaptable to many different styles of food ranging from fish to poultry.
