Racy and linear, this has alluring aromas of citrus, yellow stone fruit and whiffs of paraffin. Reflecting the nose, the linear, savory palate offers ripe apricot, grapefruit and tangy mineral notes recalling oyster shell. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and energized.

The 2019 Riesling balances smoky richness with ripe tropical fruits and stunning floral aromatics. There's a density to its textures that promises years of development when coupled with the complex web of minerals and acids found beneath. Its flavor profile is like being able to taste all of the perfumes within a florist shop, yet in liquid form, together with ripe yellow apples and hints of spice. The balance here is remarkable, as the 2019 folds in on itself through the finale. This is a beauty.
