Description
The Ceres Black Rabbit Riesling Library Release 2017 is a sophisticated and well-balanced wine that impresses with its delicate yet powerful profile. With a bright, light straw-yellow color and hints of green, the wine offers an elegant nose, featuring finely concentrated aromas of white and yellow stone fruits, citrus notes, and a touch of honeysuckle, all beautifully accented by wet-stone minerality. The freshness of the wine is enticing, while the aromatics intensify with each swirl, promising a truly captivating experience.
On the palate, it’s fragrant and aromatic, with flavors of lime and white and yellow florals, complemented by an unctuous richness that’s perfectly balanced by the fine phenolic textures and lively acidity. The finish is soft and mineral-driven, offering a sense of poise and elegance. Organic and crafted to age gracefully, this wine is ready to be enjoyed now, but will continue to evolve and reward those who choose to cellar it for the next few years. With its Platinum award at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2018, it stands as a true testament to exceptional craftsmanship.
