Winemaker’s Notes
Brilliant golden yellow in color. This Riesling sports a boisterous nose of Asian pear, candied lemon rind, and golden delicious apple cider with subtle notes of pineapple. These crisp, bright fruit notes are also reflected on the palate. The wine has a smooth midpalate balanced by a fantastic line of acidity rippling through the slightly off-dry, long-lasting finish.
Vintage Notes
As we put the last of the 2023’s to barrel, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of deep gratitude for a truly wonderful growing season. We entered the season with a winter that would not loosen its grip, but then the weather seemed to skip our normal spring entirely and move straight into summer in late April. We had nearly simultaneous bud break in all varietals at Figgins Estate Vineyard, which is quite unusual. Despite one two-day heat wave, the summer was one of the most pleasant I can ever remember. Harvest was drama-free, generous, and proceeded at a steady pace. The young wines in barrel have stunning potential, with amazing color, density of fruit, and supple tannins. I can’t wait to see them evolve over the next two years!
