This Mystery Riesling boasts fragrant aromas green apple and pineapple on the nose with a touch of mandarin and flint. Ripe citrus flavours on the palate of mandarin, peaches and spiced ginger with honey and tropical fruits. An off-dry style wine which has good concentration couple with zingy acidity. This is balanced against fruit sweetness with juicy mineral length, crunchy phenolics and a long finish.
