ZIND-HUMBRECHT - Riesling Roche Volcanique - 2014

ZIND-HUMBRECHT

Riesling Roche Volcanique 2014

Pale gold. More smoky and oily than the Roche Calcaire, the fruit smells richer and more peachy – you’d think there was some Pinot Gris in here. Still has that silky viscous texture but is lighter on the palate than I’d expected from the aroma. The finish is a complex mix of spiced citrus with a hint of rose petals.
