🌟 A bold and textured take on Riesling—bone dry, intensely aromatic, and shaped by German precision and Washington fruit.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale lemon with a green shimmer—bright and focused.

👃 On the Nose:
Powerful and complex with aromas of lime zest, white grapefruit, and crushed stones. Hints of toast, wild herbs, and flint add GG-inspired depth.

👅 On the Palate:
Bone dry yet richly textured, with electric citrus, green apple, and a savoury, lees-driven roundness. The extended lees contact creates a creamy mid-palate that’s counterbalanced by razor-sharp acidity and a long, mineral finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with sushi, shellfish, roast pork, or spicy Asian cuisine. Its dry structure and vibrant acidity make it incredibly versatile at the table.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Superb now, but will age gracefully over 8–12 years, gaining further complexity and a touch of petrol elegance.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Eroica XLC Riesling is where Old World discipline meets New World terroir—a bone-dry, textured white made in collaboration with Ernst Loosen. With its depth, precision, and vibrant tension, it’s a Riesling for lovers of serious structure and mouthwatering finesse.
