Tasting Note
Apricot, peach, orange blossom and mint with bright lime zest; vivid minerality and saline grip. Off‑dry sweetness balanced by racy acidity, giving a juicy, long finish with stone‑fruit richness and floral spice.

Hand‑harvested from organically farmed vines; cool stainless‑steel fermentation with minimal intervention to preserve aromatic purity and retain Spätlese residual sweetness.
