Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,339 g. Certified Demeter biodynamic and Ecocert organic. Sec. Quince in lime-laced honey; green melon; greengages; cumin. Fragrant, spicy, lusciously ripe whilst still piercingly dry. Has the voluptuous weight of a curvaceous golden pear, but it also carries itself on long, arching, elegant limbs. Rich but not heavy. A long, sensuous, slow uncurling into the finish. Taste this; play The English Patient: title theme by Gabriel Yared . (TC)

Where is the lobster? The very complex mirabelle-tart and spice nose pulls you into this stunning dry riesling that beautifully balances vibrant acidity and ripeness that borders on the exotic. Very straight and long finish that’s got a lot of mineral subtlety. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
