Match With

Dry Riesling is an underrated aperitif, and although this wine is exquisitely delicate - I recently had it next to Kingfish sashimi with yuzu dressing and it was a match for the ages.

Wine Details

This wine is graceful and elegant.

On the nose and rolling into the palate, yuzu oil and orange zest are laced with white florals and enchanting summer herbs. There is our trademark hint of white pepper which skips across the palate intertwined with well-balanced acidity. A subtle minerality glides through this wine, leaving a beautifully clean and refreshing finish. Be Bold, drink Riesling.

"Aromatic and enticing, aromas and flavours of limes and white apricots, fresh red apple and white blossoms. The minerality is just below the surface and with emerge with more power as the wine settles and ages more. Delicious. 95 Points, Outstanding."
