This Riesling was grafted on Cabernet rootstock in 2007. Only free-run juice is used. A deeper than usual medium-yellow hue in the glass. It shows medium-intensity candied lemon/lime, a hint of tangerine and waxy/oily touches. The palate has a medium acidity, is dry with a medium-plus extract, a soft-plus texture and a medium-plus body with a nice length and a moderate fruit intensity of lime and tangerine citrus, peach and pit, wax, oil and a mineral aspect. It closes with medium finish with a touch of citrus-peel bitterness. 2024-2026–IR
