Description

Rhein Riesling is a really typical grape variety of the Pannonhalma wine region that also covers the biggest part of the vineyards of the Pannonhalma Archabbey. This wine is defined by the freshness with a dominance of mint leaves and a smooth touch of grape blossoms on the nose, while it is driven by citric aromas ranging from grapefruit to lime on the palate. The slightly full-bodied but still intense and fresh wine has high bottle ageing potential; at the present time, it is a lovely fresh summer wine with the true Riesling structure which will develop and guarantee its quality in the future. It shows the feature that made it one of the most well-known and popular grape varieties of the region.
