Pure, floral aromas of lime peel, peaches, flint and white blossoms. The palate is light-bodied with high-energy acidity, giving notes of yellow apples, candied lemon zest, tangerines and slate. Tense and refined with an underlying texture. Vibrant and tangy.

The delicate yet layered 2024 Riesling Dry shows fruit richness and floral tones. It is restrained and not showy, with concentration but not weight. Fine purity and savory notes of white talc meet touches of lees-derived pastry. The long finish offers balanced malic acidity and fine phenolics.

The 2024 Dry Riesling is lean and austere, despite a distinct slick of residual sugar through the middle palate and finish. I find this to have salted lime, green apple, mint, lemongrass and acidity that is both fresh but also a little sour, with grapefruit, underripe green apple skin and lemon pith flavors. I find this vintage to be quite bracing, but many will love its conviction.
