WineSaint
Chamomile, dried herbs, and a squeeze of Meyer lemon open things up, followed by ripe peach and apricot with a stony, mineral thread running beneath. The residual sugar is generous but never heavy, bright acidity keeps everything taut and focused, giving the wine a near-weightless feel that belies its sweetness. Pettenthal's distinctive mineral character anchors the finish, which lingers with clean, precise clarity.
