WineSaint
Lime zest, oyster shell, and wet stone jump straight out of the glass. Taut and dry across the palate, with that signature Kirchspiel limestone running as a firm, saline thread from start to finish. Weightless in feel yet impressively substantial in presence, there's real density here without any heaviness. The acidity is vivid and precise, and the finish stretches on with exceptional persistence. Drink 2027–2035.
