"A very cool gewurz with a pronounced dried-sage aroma plus hints of smoked bacon and candied pineapple. Rich and concentrated, but with crisp chalky acidity and herbal freshness that are truly extraordinary for this grape. Long, flinty finish. Wild-fermented then matured for 30 months on the fine lees in 600-liter oak casks. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Glass stopper."
