Description
Very deep and concentrated with enormous minerality, this great dry riesling has incredible saline intensity in the wet-stone finish. In spite of all the power, this is still only medium-bodied. Only just opening up. From vines planted in 1992 on loam over shale soil. Wild-fermented in neutral puncheon oak casks and matured on the lees for 10 months. Drink or hold.
