Experience a bouquet of typical Riesling notes. You will find compelling aromas of lime, green apple, and subtle spice. Dried apricot and delicate floral notes also feature prominently on the nose. The palate offers a rich, yet unconventional, texture. Lively acidity brings superb balance and a searing freshness to the finish. Illimis Riesling is perfectly suited for immediate enjoyment or can be expertly cellared for up to 8 years. Pair it with spicy food, poultry, seafood, or vegetables.
