Nothing beats a crisp, brisk, low alcohol Riesling – they are the kind of wines you can drink bottles of all afternoon long … Lailey seems to have produced that kind of Riesling with this 2012 version. The nose has grapefruit, floral and apricot notes – with the surprise being the grapefruit … on the palate the floral continues in the form of apple blossom, there’s also some pear and yellow apple. The sweet and acidity balance delicately on the tongue keeping this wine fresh and shippable with some tip of the tongue bite. Citrus and the yellow apple linger on the finish.
