WINEMAKER'S NOTES  The fruit was exceptioanlly clean, free from botrytis, thank you the favourable growing conditions in 2020. We hand-harvested Riesling multiple times during the 2020 harvest, with the final harvest taking place on October 28th. Whole clusters were carefully placed in a stainless-steel tank and sealed with CO2 for carbonic fermentation, lasting 6 days. Subsequently, the tank was de-juiced, and the whole clusters were pressed. The free-run juice was then transferred into a 2000L concrete tank, where it completed fermenation over the course of 3 months. The wine aged for a total of 16 months in the concrete tank before being racked, just before bottling unfiltered. 

SOMMELIER'S NOTES This RAW Riesling is a refined and graceful expression of the grape. It shows more typical features than the unusual 2019 vintage. It has aromas of lemon and lime fizzy drink, button mushroom, white flower and linen. The taste is dry, crisp, and smooth, with a balanced and full ending. I think it would pair well with white fish cooked en papillote with rice pilaf. (Jan. 2024 -JL)
