Made in a Halbtrocken Kabinett style, this is a glorious example of what Oregon can do with Riesling from the iconic site of Temperance Hill in the Willamette Valley. Exquisite aromas of spiced pear and petrol mixed with elderflower and hints of smoky lime. The palate is wonderfully textured with a beautiful interplay between the acid and sugars. Peach and papaya flavours mingle with grilled pineapple, and a brilliant streak of minerality cuts through this wine to its finish.
