Classic Riesling from the Rheingau with a fine, creamy nose. A scent of sweet fruits has a very animating effect. Then, on the palate, a firm acidity that combines with the fruity notes to citrus and pineapple. In the end, citrus and a slight salty minerality remain. Overall very nice with a great drinking flow. The 2017 is already drinking well, but will easily last a few more years.
Drink from 2020 through 2027.
