A fabulous Riesling, it will be fascinating to try this against Gerd Stepp’s wines from the Pfalz in Germany (coming in June with C286) . It is honeyed, steely with green apple, jasmine and marzipan aromas. Riesling was field-grafted onto a block of Cabernet Sauvignon vines 13 years ago. Fermented in-tank, the fermentation was stopped to leave some residual sugar giving an off-dry wine. It is medium bodied with a firm acidity creating a perfect harmony.
