Riesling 2008
assessment
Colour: Pale
straw with green hues.
Bouquet: A tight, citrus dominated, nose, showing lime and lemons characters. Some light floral notes, orange blossom and a minerally edge adds interest.
Palate: The palate is Riesling in its purest form, tight and elegant and dominated by citrus fruit characters. The natural acidity is powerful yet wonderfully balanced and gives the wine a mineral structure and great length. The wine is tight and restrained with an attractive delicacy now, yet will blossom with age for ten years.
food accompaniment
Ideal aperitif wine, will also accompany fish and
delicate crustacean and mild Asian dishes.
cellaring potential
Excellent ageing potential. It will continue to
improve through its first year and then plateau, should drink well for 10 or
more years.
