Orange blossom and the slightest touch of residual sugar to balance out the razor sharp acidity (and balance out my spicy Thai food). This is a light wine but I can almost taste the slate soils and steep slopes.
Whole-cluster grapes and spontaneous fermentations

Medium light straw . Wet slate and chalky on the nose , with white flowers , touch of gunpowder and a lychee note . On the plate more white fruits , white peach , touch of lychee and ripe apple, with a light smoky touch . Nicely rounded mouthfeel with balanced alcohol . Slightly saline finish , with good acidity . Ok length . Showing pretty young at the moment , this will be better in a couple of years and last well a further 5-8 — 6 months ago
Neat how with age this turns into a dill monster but young it’s fresh and tons of apple, pear, and maybe some saline — 11 days ago
2019. We wanted something easy for dinner since my flights in were delayed a bit, so take out sushi it is. Had a bottle of Garganega in the fridge that I bought on discount on a whim when I was back a few months ago, but thought a bottle of Riesling may be good too. I loved this petrol and tropical fruit rich wine with the spicier maki and on its own. — 5 months ago
Great sipping wine with notes of orange and honey. — 8 months ago

Phenomenal old Mosel Riesling from a very difficult year. More notes soon. So honeyed and so fresh. — 21 days ago
