This estate-grown Riesling brings fresh apples and white peaches to the table. Fresh and concentrated, it hits a generous 13.6% alcohol, with suggestions of sweetness from the quite ripe fruit, although it is technically dry. It seems to have real potential for aging and developing over a decade or more.

This is a pleasant bottle, with pretty varietal scents of berry, flower and light spice. The tannins are light and rather soft, and winemaker Laurent Montalieu has kept the wine in perfect balance for its modest scale.

A good entry brings classic, Oregon-style fruit mixing apple, pear and melon. The wine has a pleasing texture, which gives the impression of layering. It loses some freshness in the finish, which leaves a slightly plastic residual impression after a quick fade.
