Tasting notes, medals and awards
- Tasting notes
- How could a dry riesling be more refined, more concentrated or more precise than this giant that is so subtle it’s hard to find adequate words for its perfect beauty? The darkness in the soil and the orange character come together with the freshness of dawn. Unbelievable length and purity! Fermented and mature in well-used small oak cooperage (mostly demi-muids).
