This is a special barrel selection of the Melphyr Riesling from Christopher Barth. Fresh flowers and aromatic green herbs on the nose with bright lime zest and lemongrass. Richer n otes of tahini and raw dough give depth and real intensity. It has all the fresh floral and citrus notes of the Melaphyr Riesling but with extra development from an extra winter in large old oak. This wine is made to celebrate the Melaphyr soils Chris has in the vineyards. This parcel was planted in the 1990s and is always harvested last. The Riesling and Melaphyr soils work beautifully in harmony. The vitality of this soil is felt in the wine. It has energy and structure but is light and elegant. Show more
