The 2021 vintage captures the purest expression of Riesling, with a focus on balance, richness, and refreshing acidity.

On the palate, it is rich and luscious, bursting with flavors of apricot, tangerine, and honeycomb, while maintaining a bright, crisp acidity. The finish is clean, with a lingering sweetness that is perfectly balanced by the wine’s refreshing citrus notes.
