KnappsteinHandpicked Riesling 2013
About this product
The 2013 Knappstein Hand Picked Riesling displays an aromatic array of citrus fruits including lime and grapefruit with subtle floral highlights. The palate retains the generosity of the citrus notes from the nose, balanced by elements of sweet spices. This is all focussed and driven by a crunchy, crisp acid profile. A textural wine that possesses wonderful flow and length.

Light straw-green; the fresh and fragrant bouquet is good, but the palate soars above it, with an exquisitely detailed array of lime, grapefruit and lemon fruits, the acidity itself a glossy reflection of the fruit flavours. Outstanding value.

Very light, bright colour. A richer, ripe smelling nose with baked lemon pudding aroma. The palate is broad and full with a fair phenolic grip, and a little astringency which lingers. A bigger style of riesling in the dry late-picked Clare style.
