Winemaker Notes
A very light kind smokiness intertwined with ripe nectarine and white fruit. The palate is very crisp, sight and very straight, keeping the sweetness here very much in check. The overall profile is a delicate balance of smokey volcanic elements and white fruit – a delicious apero wine.

The ideal introduction to the new style of German riesling Kabinett, this is all about vibrancy and juiciness at the lowest possible level of grape sweetness. Brilliant wet stone minerality at the long precise finish. Drink or hold.
Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.
