Fresh, zesty riesling. Tasted at the same time with Aurelius. in the nose they are very similar with very small differences. Riesling is more purist lime character. In taste the Riesling is more austere and the acidity is better balanced by the residual sugar, it is not as wide in case of fruit as the Au, but for me marginally better.
