Hints of smoke and wet stone combine with sweet Granny Smith apple and stonefruit aromas on the nose of this inviting dry Riesling. Smoke seeps through on the palate as well, melding with brighter flavors like orange peel and underripe tangerine, making for a refreshing yet deeply compelling sip.

While certainly present, apple and stone fruit take a back seat to layers of flint and smoke on this uniquely savory, dry Riesling. Slightly viscous on the palate with a rich, minerally slick, there’s a hint of sea salt on the finish making this wine the perfect accompaniment to oysters on the half shell.
