TASTING NOTE
Hoeve Nekum Riesling 2016
white wine
Although the wine is already 4 years old, the aromas and flavors of developed wines are not really present. In the nose, the wine shows fine aromas of apple, elder flower, mango, grapefruit, melon, combined with some light mineral tones. But the taste is really a glass full of ripe, yellow fruits. We taste flavours of mandarin, mango, passion fruit and elder flower. The wine has a very nice balance and beautiful, soft acids where sweet and sour are well integrated. A beautiful, full Riesling!
