Description
"Brilliant pale straw colour with green hues, near colourless on the edge. The nose is elegant and slender in proportion with aromas of lime fruit along with lemonade and white florals entwined with suggestions of toasty and minerals. The fruit is taut and finely concentrated with good penetration. Medium-dry to taste and light-medium bodied, the palate has a finely concentrated heart of lime fruit harmoniously melded with white florals, a little honeysuckle and hints of toast detail. The wine flows along a fine line with subtle phenolic grip and brisk, lacy acidity enlivening the mouthfeel. The wine carries to a moderately sustained finish. This is an elegantly concentrated medium-dry Riesling lime and floral flavours and hints of toast on a fine-textured, lively palate. Match with Asian fare over the next 3-4 years. Hand-picked fruit, WBP and fermented in stainless-steel to 12.0% alc. and 11 g/L RS" Raymond Chan, May 2018
Johner Estate makes their Riesling in an off dry style to enhance the natural sweet fruit flavours this variety has to offer. This Riesling has all the hallmarks which in time will develop the delicious oily characters attributed to the great Rieslings of the world with great aging potential. Perfumed aromas of orange blossom, fresh and inviting. The palate has soft herbal characters coupled with white peach & lime with a hint of honey.
Fabulous fresh summer drinking but also cellar with confidence.
