Description
The colour is pale yellow with crystalline tints. On the nose, it is refined, with fresh aromas of mint, eucalyptus and verbena. On the palate, the attack is straightforward. It is racy and well balanced. There are the same flavours of mint in retro olfaction. A mineral, precise Riesling from the limestone soils of the Eichberg Grand Cru with excellent ageing potential
