Product Details
Stark reality of riesling but truth is there is some fleshy character and so it would seem a specific vintage is involved. Aromatic enough, a minor key of yeastiness and almost chewy for sparkling wine. If the sugars are just a bit elevated that's OK because the acid and mousse air keep the balance. Well made in every respect. Drink 2022-2025. Tasted blind at NWAC 2022, June 2022.
