Nose
Aromas of ripe apple and pear, beeswax and white flowers
Palate
On the palate, a lovely round mouthfeel with ripe apple, sweet ruby red grapefruit, with hints of citrus pith, apple skins and herbs. A lovely lingering finish.
Growing Conditions
The 2021 growing season started with a mild Winter that
turned into a warm Spring. Bud break and bloom were
earlier than the previous year by at least two weeks. Early
Summer was warm and dry with conditions changing to
warm and wet by August. As September approached,
disease pressure was high and getting higher throughout
the harvest. Careful attention was needed in the vineyard
and in the cellar to ensure high quality.
Winemaking
This wine was blended from many
different Riesling fermentations. Each fermentation
reflected the unique character of the site, picking date & yeasts
selected & not selected. Fermented in stainless steel
