Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points 

"A slight whiff of smokiness is all that escapes on the shy, closed nose. The palate of this wine sweeps in with juicy flow, transporting a wealth of ripe, fresh Mirabelle plums framed by a beautiful, pithy texture. The wine offers intensity and a dry finish, and seems like a summer breeze." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Here’s the answer to anyone who thinks that dry riesling is always too lean and tart. It would be hard not to like the full fruit-salad aromas of this generous, ripe wine that also has some subtle bergamot and floral notes. Lively, without being tart, the finish is long and juicy. From biodynamically grown grapes." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"Succulent nectarine, pineapple and Meyer lemon zest flavors are accented by savory hints of bitter almond and fresh tarragon in this light- to medium-bodied white. An underlying streak of salinity emerges to leave a mouthwatering impression on the finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This is a dry Riesling (Indice 1) yet with a broad and opulent appeal which features notes of ripe citrus with damp earth and hints of white flowers." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
