Tasting notes
Overripe apple and Persian melon are garlanded in honeysuckle and lily. Luscious but decadent fruitiness and heady florality dominate on the buoyant, glossy palate as well. The wafting, delicate yet impressively persistent finish harbors just enough primary juiciness to refresh and to encourage the next sip.

This really walks the signature line of reduction with a flinty, aromatic array of grapefruit and fresh white peaches. Smooth, glossy and ultra-ripe sweet mangoes and peaches on the palate. Drink or hold.
Fumy aroma of spontaneous fermentation undergirded by grapefruit zest. Stony, mineral complexity. Utterly pure on the palate, sweet creamy citrus, ripe, pure lemon like candied lemon peel. Viscous smoothness in the mouth but that is cut through by the freshness. Essence of pure Riesling with a lot more complexity to come. GV (JH)
