Rhein Riesling found the perfect Croatian terroir on Plešivica where it also became the most spread variety. Warm days and cool nights there provide for riesling suitable climate where this grape variety can ripen well, concentrating enough sugar while maintaining enough acidity..
Korak's Rhein Riesling has gone through cool maceration for few days. It has also been fermented and aged in big wooden barrels. As such it has great potential for long ageing in bottle.
It's taste profile has abundant flower and fruit notes, a bit of botritys and dried grapes notes as well as nice freshness and crispiness.
