Tasted by: James Button
(at One Great George Street, Westminster, 13 Mar 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2021
A sweeter, riper style of Riesling, this has a juicy lime, passion fruit and mango character that makes it dangerously easy to drink. There is a fair whack of residual sugar but it remains balanced, with good intensity and a moderately long finish.
