G D Vajra Langhe Bianco Riesling 2012 Description
This 2012 vintage has evolved beautifully into a mature expression of Piedmont Riesling. The pale lemon-gold hue reflects many years of graceful development, while the nose reveals layered complexity - initial citrus and mineral notes now interwoven with subtle stone fruit and honeyed undertones that speak to the wine's age.
On the palate, the wine has gained roundness and depth. The crisp acidity remains vibrant and defining, but now frames riper, more concentrated apple and pear fruit. The mineral backbone persists with greater definition, complemented by delicate floral notes and a whisper of white peach. The finish is elegant and persistent, showing the structure and balance that only time can achieve.
This is a wine at its peak - no longer youthful, but rather sophisticated and composed, rewarding those who appreciate the nuanced character that maturity brings to fine Riesling.
Delicious with pacific rim influenced dishes.
