1999 Riesling
VINTAGE
The 1999 season had rain during April which created a little botrytis in the Riesling grapes and hence a light botrytis flavour contribution which makes this an unusually rich wine and adds a dimension in depth and complexity.
TASTING NOTES
Colour: Straw with a light green tinge.
Palate: Richly flavoured with the fruit elements apparent on the nose carrying through to the palate. Intense fruit with a savoury edge and a crisp finish. Even, mouthfilling, lingering flavour.
