This is a really unusual, spicy, punchy riesling from their clay and limestone-laden Damsteep vineyard located at the foot of the Omihi Saddle. Grown biodynamically and 2 years into their organic certification, these 17 year-old vines are really hitting their straps. Matured in 3-10yr old barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation gives gorgeous, creamy complexity to the upfront mandarin, lime and Red Delicious apple elements. I had a second glass a day after opening the bottle and it was even better, so if you have any semblance of self-discipline, I suggest you do the same.
