Kpo says: A dry Slovakian Riesling made by the winemaker known as the King of Rieslings!!!!! |
Light yellow color. The scent of linden blossom and honey transitions into beautiful notes of fresh citrus. The taste is rich and structured, tropical fruits of various kinds, honey, fine minerality and beautiful, juicy acidity, which is a prerequisite for the longevity of this beautiful Riesling. Late harvested, vinified dry.
