Bright straw-green; it is still at the very start of what will be a long journey, its skirts still wrapped around its ankles. There are lime and Granny Smith apple blossom aromas, and the palate has extreme focus and length, but nonetheless asks to be left alone for a year or two.

Bright straw. Vibrant grapefruit, lemon zest and chalky minerals on the incisive nose, with notes of anise and honeysuckle adding complexity. Finely etched citrus zest flavors are complicated by notes of ginger and white pepper, gaining weight with air. The energetic, persistent finish repeats the floral note and leaves a stony quality behind.
K&L Notes

Made in a crisp, dry style, this Riesling leads with aromas of peach and lime blossom, followed by citrus and mineral notes on the palate. It is a terrific example of Eden Valley Riesling that ages well. Bright and juicy with vibrant acidity, this complements a variety of foods, especially seafood or spicy fare.
