WineSaint
Candied pineapple and crystallized ginger hit first, vivid and concentrated, with lime oil and white pepper threading through the rich core. The intensity here comes from naturally desiccated grapes rather than botrytis, so the sweetness stays clean and focused — none of the honeyed weight noble rot would bring. Taut acidity keeps everything in check, and that signature Wittmann precision polishes the finish. Drinking beautifully now.
