Very elegant, delicate nose with white grapefruit, delicate smoky hints, a hint of lemon thyme, then lots of fruit on the palate, very juicy, intense but very fine carbon dioxide bubbles, a hint of brioche and a lot of sparse minerality in the finish Stuart Pigott - For James Suckling 2025 Score: 93 This innovative sparkling Riesling is astonishingly harmonious for its age, with impressive apple, dried pear and candied lemon aromas. Beautiful balance of restrained creaminess, tingling mousse and moderate acidity on the medium-bodied palate. It’s actually 100% from the 2021 vintage. Drink or hold.
