This is an off-dry style Riesling showing attractive aromas of citrus fruits (lemons, limes and mandarin), apples, pears and spice. On the palate, the acidity is nicely poised with lingering fruit characters. The finish has good fruit weight and texture, with lingering citrus and mineral undertones. This fresh, lively Riesling can be enjoyed either on its own or with seafood, salads or Asian dishes.
