"Wonderfully delicate and subtle Amalfi lemon and wildflower aromas. Sleek, finely chiseled, light-bottled palate with bright, stony acidity. Extremely long, super-elegant and precise finish. The hint of unfermented grape sweetness from wild fermentation is barely perceptible. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold."

"Harvested on three fruit days (September 24, September 27 and October 14), the 2024 Flower Day Dry Riesling HJW Vineyard features lovely florals on the nose (lime blossom), plus scents of green apples and white peaches. Made exclusively in stainless steel and weighing in at 11% alcohol and with 11 grams per liter of residual sugar, it's sort of a feinherb style, light- to medium-bodied on the palate, with a crisp, stony and mouthwatering finish."

"Wild fermented with minimal winemaking intervention, this is remarkably clean and downright delicious. Bright, delicate aromas of lemon-lime, apple skin and lavender talcum powder lead to a crisp, refreshing palate that pops with vibrant citrus and nervy acidity, with textural intrigue and a superlong finish to boot.
