Pale green-straw in colour, the nose offers delicate white florals, zesty lemon and lime, sherbet, and hints of Nashi pear. The palate is tightly focused with intense citrus juice, chalky minerality, and a touch of talc, all supported by an elegant, linear acidity that drives a crisp, dry finish. With the structure and acid profile to age gracefully, this is a Riesling that will continue to evolve beautifully for at least five years, developing layers of complexity and gentle toastiness over time.
Crafted with precision and care, this vibrant Riesling captures the essence of purity and balance from vineyard to bottle. The grapes were harvested at peak ripeness after rigorous berry tasting to ensure optimal flavour and acid harmony, then picked in the cool of night to retain freshness. After gentle crushing and rapid transport to the winery, free-run juice was extracted with minimal skin contact and clarified before undergoing a slow, cool fermentation between 12–15°C. This meticulous process, paired with selected yeast strains, enhances the varietal’s delicate citrus and floral notes. Bottled young to lock in its freshness, this wine is built for both early enjoyment and long-term cellaring.
Following in the footsteps of its award-winning predecessors—94 Points from Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, and 94 Points plus a Gold Medal from Wine Showcase Magazine—this release stands as a testament to the variety’s age-worthy charm and regional finesse.
Pair this with fresh oysters, Thai green curry, or a goat cheese salad for a sensational match.

"Offering excellent fruit purity, the delicately lifted bouquet shows crunchy apple, lemon sorbet, and white floral nuances, leading to a finely focused palate that's juicy and lively. Wonderfully composed and elegantly expressed with a sustained, mouth-watering finish. At its best: 2026 to 2035. $35.00. Aug 2025."
