18 SAISON WIRZ RIESLING
In Stock
| Brilliant pale straw core with silvery rim |
| Zesty lemon, lime, and peaches, with white flowers and crushed stones. A nuance of petrol and comes in and out of the glass. Approachable yet age-worthy. |
| Refreshing acidity on the palate, the wine is young and compact but also expressive and bold. Dry, chalky, mango, notes of clove, white pepper and a touch bitter in the finish. |
