"Sleek in feel, with a rich cascade of warm apple, mandarin orange and sun tea, laced with accents of roasted pineapple and spicy ginger. Gains lift from pithy, bitter-edged acidity. Mouthcoating, yet still very fresh, with a salty, smoky vein of minerality. Drink now. 100 cases imported."

Sustainably-farmed Riseling. Hand-harvested from younger vines; fermented and aged in stainless steel. Refreshingly crisp while offering plenty of ripe fruit flavors. A versatile wine - perfect on its own or with a range of foods.

The ground here consists of a mixture of gravel from the Danube and prehistoric rock which is covered by a layer of loess, about 1.5 meters thick.
