Top Notes For
"Odedi"

Pretty golden in color.

Strong nose of citrus, apples, diesel, spices, minerals, light honeysuckle, passion fruit and light sea salt.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, limes, yellow apples, light earth, light tropical fruits, spices and light honey notes.

Nice length on the finish with limes.

This is a very tasty and refreshing Riesling from Germany. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with enough acidity to balance the fruits.

Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

11.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$30.

A beautiful Pfalz Riesling archetype.
Sweet, rich & exotic on the nose with ripe yellow peaches, candied pineapple, tangerine zest. Ripe & broad but there’s great freshness, coming from a cool, mineral, slightly smoky underscore.
On the palate this shows rich breadth but there’s also great balance & depth, either the volcanic, spicy minerality adding a nice counterbalance to the ripe, sweet yellow fruit. Opulent yet juicy and dangerously drinkable. This is yum!
