2017 Weinbau Paetra Elwetritsche Riesling, Oregon, USA (750ml)

PRE-SALE ITEM: AVAILABLE MID-NOVEMBER

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Elwetritsche are mythical beasts that are said to inhabit the Haardt Mountains around the city of Neustadt an der Weinstrae where we used to live. This dry Riesling is an homage to the German Pfalz and the style of the region. It was hand-harvested, given 24 hours pre-press skin maceration and fermented without commercial yeast or chemical additions. It is a powerful, yet elegant style of riesling and I think it’s our best wine to date. It is very dry, but with juicy white peach, grapefruit, spice, white tea, and mirabelle plum and beautiful floral aromas.
