NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Wagner-Stempel Heerkretz Riesling GG is an opulent and complex Riesling with an intoxicating nose of apricot, tangerine, and honeydew melon.On the palate, it is balanced and textured, with a core of creamy stone fruit, ripe citrus and hints of petrol. Rich and concentrated, it has a long and elegant finish. A truly remarkable wine.
