WineSaint
Honeyed quince and dried apricot lead, with wet stone minerality cutting through the sweetness. Intensely concentrated yet lifted by piercing acidity that keeps the finish clean and bright. The Drachenstein vineyard's slate soils shine through, adding tension to what could easily turn cloying.
