Acclaim
CELLAR SELECTION: “This is a rich Riesling, that’s ripe with fruits, round in texture and touched with spice. The acidity is very present, giving a steely edge to the wine. With its fruitiness, it is very drinkable now, but will certainly be more complex and complete in 3-4 years.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2013
“Features aromas and flavors of peach and cream, with a rich mix of baked apple, pear tart and almond, showing hints of smoke. The long, lush finish is filled with glazed apricot.”
— Wine Spectator, Jun 2013
