Tasting Notes
A serious bottle of wine. Ideal for the Riesling and Austrian aficionado looking to stretch their wine education and tasting experience. Great astringency, this is bone dry. Imagine sucking a pebble on the beach, - if ever you have! Flinty, with layers of character, a thinking drinkers wine. Sitting on the petrol with lime peel spectrum of Riesling, which shows on the mid to back pallet. Lean and Mineral. - NM February 2021 (Goes with... tasted with With Aromatic Duck).
