"This strikes a lovely balance between herbs and just-ripe citrus and stone fruit. It,s medium-bodied with sleek layers of lime zest, green apples, hints of white pepper, thyme and apricot stones, persisting on a long and clean finish. Drink or hold."

"Aromas of lychee, honeydew melon and citrus blossom form the fragrant nose also sage. Rounded, enveloping and savory, the smooth palate features ripe white peach, cantaloupe and orange drop before a saline close. "

"The 2022 Riesling opens with a burst of lemon zest, minty herbs and sour green melon. This soft textured effort with ripe citrus and zesty acidity creates a sense of boundless energy within. It finishes long and staining with a pleasantly tart tension and sour lime notes that slowly taper off. This no-frills Riesling is a total pleasure to taste."
