A blend of 75% Riesling and 25% Petit Manseng. Crisp & Clean. Almost glassy in its texture, it hides the acid well with the fleshy Petit Manseng in the blend. Lemon shortbread and grapefruit join forces with a dash of Sprite and tangerine pith. The wine is linear and to the point, accurate and sharp but supple where it needs to be. Drink it now, or forever hold your peace. 74 cases produced.
FRUIT SOURCES
Shenandoah Vineyards in Edinburgh for Riesling; Sherman Ridge Vineyard in Woodstock for Petit Manseng.
