At 22 grams per liter residual sugar, the medium-sweet 2015 Riesling would make a fine accompaniment to many spicy dishes. It starts off with green apple notes, then adds riper nuances of nectarines and mandarins, adds a bit of creamy texture on the mid-palate, then finishes with balanced sweetness and acidity. Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
Rich, concentrated and flavoursome riesling in a medium-dry style with lime, honey, mango and apricot flavours. Less botrytis influence than usual, which means more focus on varietal flavours. Sweetness is balanced by fruity acidity and fine tannins. A powerful wine with character. Bob Campbell MW
