Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Riesling typically shows a bright pale straw color with green reflections. The nose is expressive and clean, with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and a distinct stony or wet slate edge. On the palate, it is lively and focused, offering crisp acidity, juicy orchard fruit, citrus zest, and a dry, mineral finish. The balance between freshness and structure suggests good short- to mid-term aging potential, where it can gain extra depth and complexity over the next few years.

Production
