Description : Into luminous suns-yellow the Riesling 2010 glitters in the glass. Meanwhile the smell presents aromas of fine minerals, aromatic foliage and Butterscotch. In addition notes of candied lemon peel, saffron and lemon balm comes up. Later the smell turns more and more towards to lemony marks, jasmine flourishes and hazelnuts.
