Delicious off-dry style from two of the biggest names in Riesling Ste Michelle and Dr Loosen. The Eroica shows what is possible in Washington Riesling. Elegance comes to the fore with lively, rich aromatics of pine sap, ripe lemon and cut peaches, along with streaks of stony minerality. The palate is lush. Flavours of honeycomb, grilled peaches and cardamom. Wonderfully rich and balanced with lively acid.
