TASTING NOTES
Ripe, sun-kissed lemon, tangerine and white-peach flavors are anchored by bracing, tonic strikes of acidity in this light-footed Riesling. Semisweet in style yet invigorating and zesty, it's lovely now for its youthful verve but should drink well through 2028 at least.

Sun-baked earth and smoke tones lend savory complexities throughout this vibrant auslese. The palate is unctuously ripe, full of fleshy, sweet peach and apricot flavors, but it's keenly balanced with racy acidity and those earthy, dusty mineral tones.

Rose petals, white peaches and lychees extend from nose to finish in this exceptionally light-footed, perfumed Gewürztraminer. Medium-sweet in style, it's exhilarating and fresh, with a pert spine of lemon-lime acidity and a lingering veil of sweetness on the finish. It drinks gorgeously young but should maintain peak through 2026.
