2020 | Elk Cove Vineyards | Estate Riesling

The 2020 Riesling Estate has gregarious aromas of grilled peaches, quince paste, honeycomb and petrol with wafts of flint. The light-bodied palate is focused and grippy, with about nine grams of residual sugar, exotic flavor layers and a gently leesy finish.
