"This hay-colored wine offers a superb nose made of pear, baked apple, citrusy elements, a hint of caraway, curry, and smoky elements. The wine is superbly engaging on the palate, where a fine feel of zesty acidity provides the right cut to juicy and creamy flavors of fruit and smoke. It is beautifully long and driven by a great fresh side in the finish. This gorgeous dry wine combines alluring immediate “mindless” pleasure with great complexity! "

About the Winemaker
Madame Flock
All Madame Flöck’s vineyards are dry-grown, herbicide-free, and hand-tended. This means no machinery ever touches the vineyards, no glyphosate messes with the natural biodiversity of the vineyards, and the team’s hands are blistered, backs broken, and wits lost by the time of harvest. But as the old Roman saying goes – “through hardship to the stars.”
