Semicolon Riesling
The 2020 Riesling Semicolon, from estate fruit, was made with 30% whole, foot-trodden bunches in the ferment. After three weeks, once the ferment finished, the free-run must was drawn off and matured for six months in old barriques, then bottled without filtration or sulfur dioxide. Lovely reduction lends a delicious smokiness to the nose and wraps itself around juicy, green-red pear. The palate is vivid and fresh, beautifully salty on a clear-cut, linear, bone-dry body far juicier than a skin-fermented wine would suggest. This majors in tautness and linearity with just the slightest veil of phenolics. The 2020 is far too easy to drink with its absolute refreshment factor. (Bone-dry)
