Very beautiful expression of the aromas of this Riesling. The nose is dominated by white fruits notes, with a fine hint of minerality. The mouth is fresh, with aromas of white fruits and citrus fruits, with a mineral finish. The wine is elegant, well-balanced, with a good length. It will go well with all fishes and seafood, and also poultry with sauce.
