WineSaint
Honeyed pear and green apple dominate, the palate's generous weight balanced by piercing lime acidity and a mineral snap that cuts through the sweetness. Despite 41 grams residual sugar. Double the 2016 levels due to frost damage at Scharzhof. The wine feels almost dry, the vintage's natural tension keeping everything in check. Citrus oils and white pepper spice carry the finish. Drinking beautifully now, though cellaring will add layers.
