This is a single-vineyard, late-harvest Riesling from one of the most prestigious vineyard sites for Riesling in the world. Ripe and just off-dry, it’s a curious concoction of yellow peach, pear, candied citrus and camomile that’s glazed by tangerine-jam notes. It’s a magnificent match for all that spice. The sweetness of peach and pear adds the balance and the citrus clears and cleanses the palate.
