(at Mary Ward House, London, 08 Mar 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2022
Sourced from two vineyards in the cool Eden Valley, this cool-fermented example is a great introduction to dry Riesling. Apple and lime aromas mingle with some mineral notes. The palate is initially quite tight, showing zesty citrus fruit that slowly unwinds to reveal soft stone fruit notes and a hard-edged mineral acidity.
