NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This dry Riesling opens with a delicate, fruity nose featuring yellow fruit aromas such as crisp Williams pear, peach, and a touch of orange zest, accompanied by floral notes of white lilac and chamomile.There is also a smoky hint of slate minerality. On the palate, the wine is light, highly elegant, and finely structured, with a saline mineral character from the slate soil.
