Tasting Notes

This Riesling was the last thing we harvested in 2019. We like to make sure that the Riesling is ripe enough to balance out the high acidity of the grape. This vineyard also gave us quite a bit of botrytis. We did carbonic fermentation for 7 days in stainless steel tank. After we transferred it into a 4000L concrete tank, and it finished fermenting after 7 months. The nose is intensely aromatic, like a pineapple and a peach had a baby. There are also tones of mango and orange. The palate is ripe and juicy, yet still dry and fresh.
