I particularly like this wine because it shows very pure botrytis flavours that are matched by an equal measure of citrus/lime and floral Riesling characters. It also has a perfect balance of acidity that creates an exquisite tension in the wine. The wine is sweet without being “sticky”. Terrific value.
