My Ratings and Reviews

Welschriesling 2022

7/10

"Spontaneous spring aromas, with the intensity of peach blossom and hints of wildflower honey. Notes of ripe citrus and dandelion. A smooth, fresh palate with subtle hints of sage and eucalyptus. A harmonious accompaniment at any time of day. Ideal for restaurants."
