Winemaking Notes: The grapes were picked at 25.7 Brix. They were gently whole cluster pressed and fermented with native yeasts in an egg fermenter. The fermentation was naturally halted when the wine achieved the desired balanced dessert wine flavor, preserving natural grape sugars.

Tasting Notes: Comparable to a ripe Auslese in traditional German wines, this Riesling is a rare and highly sought-after category, requiring a perfect vintage. This wine is luxurious, luscious, and a fantastic food pairing choice, suitable for both wine enthusiasts and collectors. It can age for over a decade, becoming even more nuanced and interesting with time. Expect flavors of yellow apple, honeysuckle, and poached pear.

Suggested Pairings: Incredible food pairing wine. Try it with a blue cheese salad, spicy seared scallops, sweet potato casserole, fruit desserts, creamy desserts, foie gras, spicy Asian cuisine.
