The concentration of long, cool ripening sets off an Alea of dramatic presence, contrasting the depth of apple and pear with the energy of crunchy kaffir lime and lemon. Nuances of star fruit and kiwi provide an edge of exoticism. Cool season acid cut provides definition to a long and powerful finish.
Grosset Description
Riesling is a truly noble grape, known for its incredibly high acidity and a flavor profile that can range from bone dry to lusciously sweet. Germany is its heartland, and it's responsible for some of the world's most age-worthy examples, but Riesling also thrives in Austria, where it usually is dry. In Alsace, it takes on a slightly richer texture, while in parts of Australia, like the Clare and Eden Valleys, it displays a uniquely powerful and lime-tinged aromatic profile. This is a grape that has no problem showcasing its origins, and it's a fantastic example of how one variety can show many different expressions, each with its own unique appeal.
