Grape:: Riesling
Alcohol:: 13%

Dried lemon peel and hay flowers make for an inviting nose. On the palate, the vivid brightness of lemon brightens notes of tart apple and the merest touch of earth and stone. This is precise and pure, absolutely dry and magnificent. The freshnes is incisive and invigorating. It's another one of those gloriously bright and unapologetically fresh 2015 Rieslings. Clearly a vintage for adults only. The finish is lip-smackingly clean and utterly moreish.
