Theise 09 Catalog: Call it “Maggie;” he does. I have a secret to share with you about
being pragmatic. The first taste of this showed a lot of terroir to go with its typical
luminous fruit, but there was, let’s say, an acid statement. We talked it over, and tried
a (legally permitted) addition of 15% Roseneck Spätlese, which rounded out the finish,
extended the fruit atop the acidity, which remains bright but now in harmony.
Shame on us. The wine is lovely.
