This dry Riesling has an abundant and completely aromatic expression. The aromas include ripe & dense apples, pears, perfumed white blossoms and signature minerality. The palate is completely dry, but there’s some illusion of sweetness from the luscious character of the stone-fruits flavors. Even with this depth of taste, the wine is still edgy thanks to its cool-climate vibrant acidity….
The HJW Riesling comes from a cooler site with shallow soils. The nose is generous in intensity and bold. You can smell concentrated, very ripe peaches & citrus fruits, almost candied.

Golden in color, this semi-dry Riesling has a blossomed expres-sion with aromas of orchard fruits as well as an exotic touch of pineapple, papaya and melons. Rich and mellow, the palate mirrors the nose in terms of aromas, but with a generous and concentrated character.

The Cabernet Franc is quite typical, with Loire propinquity. The nose is earthy & very juicy with aromas of strawberries, Bram-bleberries & Blueberries with a stunning perfume of violets as well as Szechuan Pepper.
