  Volcanic white burgundy. Intense green and yellow fruit, some fresh/interesting tropical undertones, chamomile. distinctly ashy minerality and texture. Full bodied, medium+ acidity. Intense, food friendly, deeply enjoyable.

  100% Juhfark. Fresh cut green apple, lemon zest, tropical fruits (pineapples, papayas), good minerality and ash. Medium + intensity of aromas. Full bodied with medium + acidity and a long finish. There’s a slight hint of oak. Really interesting varietal here with flavors that fit Spring well.

  It pours a deep gold, reminiscent of Gewurztraminer. It smells like a bag of overripe peaches and pears and... petrol. It's thick, and unctuous on the palate, even waxy, with flavors of bruised pear, honey and smoke. Finishes off with some slightly bitter phenolics. Super rich and high-toned at the same time. It reminds me of a bottle of Chave white St. Joseph. I'm rather enjoying this. It's super structured, serious, and obviously of very high quality while showing some charming rusticity. It improved over the course of three days.
  I tried three different pairings: Ginger beef with asparagus, Salmon chowder with fennel, and garlic chicken stir fry. I'd say the salmon chowder is the winner.
