Has the nose of a classic Riesling. Tart, with lemon, green apple, and apricot. Strong pineapple on the palate. I think it could use a touch more acid, but quite nice.

Sweet for a dry Riesling, pear notes, good mouth coating

Pineapple, pear, citrus, and stone fruits on the nose. And wow, it's good. More lovely pineapple, lemon, and pear on the palate. It's not as pronounced as the French Rieslings, but it's also a young wine and it may develop. However, as it sits it's quite lovely and very drinkable. I love the warmth and subtle sweetness, and it goes down so easily.
