Tasting Notes
Showcasing the terroir of the vineyard and farming techniques, this Riesling subtly expresses notes of petrol; a result of early season leaf pulling that exposes the fruit to UV light and creates compounds that become aromatic after about a year in bottle. Meyer lemon zest, honeysuckle, white flowers on the nose, dynamic, mouthwatering acidity give way to notes of early summer apricot, blueberry, orange blossom, granny smith apple, and Asian pear.
Accolades
“From 35-year-old vines, this supertart wine mixes grapefruit, lemon and green apples in a juicy, lip-smacking burst of front-loaded flavor. All that fruit is equally matched to the acidity, which qualifies this wine as a candidate for raw oysters.” – 90 points, Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast
“The 2017 Riesling gives candied pineapple, petrol, candle smoke, stone fruits and lime juice aromas on the nose. It's light to medium-bodied with a hint of residual sugar lingering through the bright acidity, with a lively, mineral-driven finish.” - 90 points, Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate
“Taut, mouthwatering, and bursting with pineapple, hard green apple, passionfruit, and spice, this has a long finish and the structure to age gracefully for years.” – Brian Freedman, Food & Wine Magazine
