This Riesling is spicier than the typical big tropical style you’ll find. The spicy fruit of white peach, pear and orange rind flood the palate with balance and restraint. The finish is where the tropical notes and balanced acids come out, drink now.

Wow, this riesling has an amazing nose of fresh citrus, like smelling a bowl of fresh fruit. This easy drinking wine pops onto the palate with pear, lemon/lime, fresh peach’s and honeydew. The acidity is restrained and some spicy notes glide across the palate to finish off this refreshing white wine.
