2007 Late Harvest Riesling

TASTING NOTES

A very ripe Late Harvest with flavors of apricot, passion fruit jelly and tangerine. In the nose it shows aromas of pear, honey and exotic fruit. Bright and round in mouth, it gives a taste of fresh and ripe juiciness with a long aftertaste of very sweet candied fruits.
