Critics praise this wine for its “electrifying acidity” and remarkable precision. They note its longevity and ability to develop complex petrol notes over time. This Riesling serves as a benchmark for the New World style.
The bouquet is intensely aromatic, offering notes of lime cordial, green apple, and a touch of wet slate. The palate is bone-dry, taut, and energetic, defined by rapier-like acidity. Expect concentrated flavors of lemon zest, white peach, and a distinctive, saline minerality. Oak Valley Stone & Steel Riesling finishes incredibly long and refreshing, inviting another sip.
