Efeste Evergreen Riesling 2010

"Pale, green-tinged yellow. Pungent petrolly, stony minerality on the nose, accented by a note of juniper. Densely packed and slightly sweet, with terrific thickness cut by racy acidity. Boasts excellent complexity to the peach, anise, stone and mint flavors. Finishes long, tactile and brisk. Try this with Thai food, or with goat cheeses. This wine was bottled with 9.3 grams/liter acidity, equivalent to a very high-acid Alsace riesling, following de-acidification from 11.5."

"Though this is just 12.2% alcohol (hence, off-dry), you’d never peg it for anything less than searingly tart and bracing. Grapefruit, green berry, green apple and lime coalesce around the lip-smacking acids. Young and primary; though already delicious, it should improve significantly with some cellaring."

"The 2010 Riesling Evergreen Vineyard was fermented and aged in stainless steel finishing with 1.58% residual sugar and a low pH of 3.09. Reminiscent of a Mosel Kabinett, it displays aromas of jasmine, citrus, and spice notes. Crisp, savory, and long, it will serve nicely as an aperitif..."
