Rhine Riesling SUNSET 2024

Rhine Riesling SUNSET 2024, Tajna, Slovakia

Riesling is one of the world's greatest white grape varieties, renowned for its remarkable ability to express place. This vibrant expression from Tajna Vineyards showcases exactly why.

Produced from hand-harvested grapes in Slovakia's Nitra wine region, the wine was gently pressed before fermenting at cool temperatures in stainless steel. It then spent six months ageing on its fine lees, adding texture and complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit.

Brilliant golden with delicate green reflections, the nose opens with fragrant aromas of linden blossom and freshly grated lime zest. The palate is beautifully balanced, combining crisp minerality with juicy citrus fruit, lively acidity and a subtle touch of residual sugar. Notes of lime, floral honey and ripe orchard fruit lead into a long, refreshing finish that is both vibrant and elegant.

Fresh, expressive and effortlessly refined, this is a Riesling that demonstrates the precision and purity for which Central European wines are increasingly admired.
