TASTING NOTE
Subtle, slightly chalky nose with fresh and bright spiciness, crystal clear candied fruit aromas, red peaches, papayas and a touch of apricots, velvety and seductive; refreshing and energetic, full of succulent and juicy fruit, tropical aromas, grapey, appealing counterplay of acidity and sweetness, enjoyable with delicate finish.

HIRSCHIN
Dedicated to my wife Sandra, who loves this bright and dainty Riesling style so much: light, juicy and full of finesse. A gem from our prized sandstone floors.

THE 2015 VINTAGE
The distinctive characteristics of the single-vineyard sites are especially evident in the wines from the 2015 harvest. last year was a magnificent vintage, albeit one that demanded accuracy and diligence in the vineyard. meticulous canopy management and intuitive steps were required throug- hout each and every vineyard, to enable our typical Hirsch style to sing out. Our 2015 vintage wines are aromatic, juicy and full of freshness, despite the untypically warm year, and display depth of fruit spice. all wines carry the Hirsch-hallmark characters of intense fruit and a broad aromatic profile at a relatively low-alcohol content.
