About Basileus CV Riesling 750mL
Basileus CV Riesling opens with a luminous, pale straw hue and an expressive bouquet that immediately signals cool-climate precision. On the nose, vivid notes of white peach, lime zest, and green apple are lifted by delicate jasmine blossom and a characteristic whisper of wet slate minerality. The palate is taut and focused, with bright natural acidity providing excellent backbone. Flavors of nectarine, mandarin peel, and crushed river stone unfold gracefully, supported by a subtle honeyed quality that hints at the wine's 'CV' (Cuvée) character. The balance between fruit sweetness and steely acidity is impeccably maintained, giving the wine both vibrancy and depth.
