2022 Qvinterra Riesling 05 21

Screwcap. A wine from five villages and five soil types, hence Qvinterra.  Smells rich and complex, with a little bit of evolution as well as a hint of that fumy character that is typical of spontaneously fermented Riesling. Lightly spicy. On the palate this is rich, mouth-filling and dry but wonderfully full. Both broad in flavour and pure/crisp in acidity. So much depth for an estate wine. As it opens, there's more cedar and lime notes and on the palate a very slight grip, which is in perfect harmony with the flavours and the bold, generous structure in a wine that is miraculously just 12% alcohol.
