Get the Party Started - Amfora Riesling 2021
100% Riesling, organic farmed and hand harvested in Slovenia by young winemaker Matic.
Macerated grapes age with the skins for 214 days while aging in a clay amphora for a total of 16 months.
It has a deep lemon or even orange-like hue in the glass.
At first, there are notes of stewed apples or apple cider. Given time to breathe or decanted, you will find notes of lemon, oranges, honeysuckle, and later on, dried rose petals.
This wine is bone dry and due to the skin-contact, there’s a slight tannic element in your mouth.
Flavors of orange zest, sweet flowers, and green apple are abundant. It has a long finish with mineral notes and peach pit flavors lingering.
It’s very easy to drink with light and well integrated tannins, excellent acidity and tons of flavor.
A special wine by any measure.
