Free run juice which enjoys a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel with minimal filtration prior to bottling provides yet another scintillating Riesling from the Great Southern sub-region of Denmark. The wine, a very dilute pale straw in colour, does exhibit hints of that sea breeze, oyster shell note which sometimes appears here, but it is the support from the grapefruit pith notes with the chalk, limes, spices and talc that dominates. A minerally backing and a touch of a bitter almond note tying up the finish too. Fine acidity, impeccable balance, and with a finish that lingers beautifully, this wine will provide pleasure any time over the next dozen years.
92 pts - Kim Brebach (BWU20)Denmark is well-known for its delicate whites; this one comes with a whiff of brine from the Southern ocean. There are faint limes and some grapefruit tang, along with notes of talc and chalk – Dresden China in a glass.
