In the cellar: The Riesling was fermented in stainless steel, the Chardonnay was fermented in concrete and spent 6 months in foudre, and the Gewurztraminer was fermented on the skins in qvevri for six months. After blending, another three months were spent in foudre before the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Farming method: Organic
Tasting notes: This blend has notes of white flowers from the Gewurztraminer, and the Riesling gives off aromas of citrus and lychee. The Chardonnay lends structural elegance and a long finish of apples and pears. Creative, unique, elegant.
