This dry Wachau Riesling boasts a sharp linear core of vibrant acidity that's tightly wrapped with palate-whetting flavors of sour apple, starfruit, and white grapefruit. Crystal clear purity and excellent length make this a real winner for fans of racy dry Rieslings. Made by an historic, family-owned winery that's been pressing grapes since the early 1800s.
