Complex but light, layers of flavour but focussed and pure, this lovely German Riesling is a paradox, like many of the great wines of the world. Flavours of limes, lemons and liquid honey type flavours give this lively wine its complex flavours. It is medium dry in style which means has a hint of sweet aromatic intensity in the mid palate and finishes dry and crisp.
Giesen Mosel Reiler Goldlay is the first German Riesling from the Giesen brothers, who bought a small block of vineyard land in the village of Reil on the banks of the famous Mosel River. They contracted their friend and fellow winemaker, Tobias Treis, to make this wine, which was then shipped to New Zealand.
