Winemaker Notes
There is an unexpected Mosel-aspect to this wine, starting with its greenish hue, continuing to its freshly-mowed hay aroma, and finishing with its salt-and-apple palate. A delicate and incisive dry Riesling, sporting a mere 11.5% alcohol.
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones.
