With its redcurrant and grapefruit-pith aromas this harmonious dry riesling should appeal to many sauvignon blanc fans. Light body with green-apple freshness at the slightly austere, earthy finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, through reviewer SR, also gave this wine a commendable 90 points. The review highlights the wine's "super clear, refined and delicate slate and white fruit aroma with flinty notes," likening the nose to a "true Jugendstil impression." On the palate, the wine is described as "perfectly round and fresh," maintaining a balance between purity and lightness. The finish is characterized as "remarkably characterful and refreshing," with a "fine mineral grip" and a subtle association of fruit. The acidity is noted to be "vibrantly fresh but delicate."

Both reviews underscore the wine's appeal to those who appreciate a dry and refreshing Riesling with mineral complexity. The harmonious blend of fruit and mineral elements, along with a balanced acidity, make this wine a notable choice for enthusiasts of the varietal.
