WineDiva's Review

Precise, nervy, outstanding.
This outstanding sparkling Riesling is made from vines planted in 1978 on one of Tantalus' estate vineyard plots.
Classic Riesling notes of green apples, crunchy peaches, lemon drops and mineral notes prevail. It is nervy and precise with a creamy edge and a long peachy finish.
Excellent tension and focus.

Recommended Pairings
Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers, Seafood/Fish, First Date, Creamy Dishes
