Tastings.com gave the winning 2018 ice wine a rave review, 97/100 points!!
“Brilliant gold color. Aromas and flavors of poached pear and jasmine, pineapple and honeysuckle, apricot, and jackfruit with a round, tangy, sweet full body and an intricate, long finish displaying notes of sea salt on apricot preserves, honeysuckle, pineapple pâtè de fruits, and orange blossom honey. Beautiful complexity of flavor with light florals and minerality as counterpoints to its pronounced stone fruit, orchard fruit, and tropical citrus tones; this is world class Eiswein.”
