Wow! A delicious Riesling for fans of the off-dry style. Despite 63g/l of residual sugar it is far from cloying, thanks to the searing acidity that perfectly balances the concentrated tropical fruit and weighty palate. This has awesome purity and delicious grippiness, exotic and honeyed with a lengthy lime cordial finish and luscious white peach lift.
