This limestone based vineyard dictates a little more skin contact during fermentation to get the most out of the fruit. There is a pungency of flavor in this wine, with bold citrusy notes joining the apple profile. There’s also a rich texture thanks to lots of lees contact in Morten Hallgren’s Rieslings to develop the flavor character. Tangerine in particular is bright, and the wine is fleshy and long.
