Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Riesling is a rarity in German-speaking Switzerland, where Müller-Thurgau and Pinot Noir dominate, and the canton of Zürich's cool climate and limestone-influenced soils give it a taut, high-acid expression closer to the Mosel than to Alsace. Lime, green apple and white peach over a stony mineral core, dry and medium-bodied, with the piercing acidity that lets Riesling age. Low in alcohol and built on tension rather than weight.
