2024 “Heroes” Vineyard Das Helden Riesling
$40.00
A nod to German Auslese Riesling; yellow rose petal, buttercup, clover, sweet pea, lychee on the nose. Lemon sorbet, ripe pear, golden delicious apple, with vanilla bean and marzipan on the palate. Talc-y texture, citrus acid lift, oyster shell minerality, and zing of peppery spice.
