This Riesling ticks the box with everything you want for the price! Picture perfect Riesling, with not too high acidity.

Pepin state that the wine “to the eye it is yellow of medium intensity with some silver shades. Notes of peaches and apricots, orange blossom, lily blossom, light creamy caramel. There is a great balance between the volume and the acid framework that
manages to hold it all the way through. You can feel the roundness of the caramel as well as the citrus.A perfect match with cod in beurre blanc, guinea fowl à la Normande and a lemon tart for dessert”
