Elbling
LIGHT-BODIED, DRY, LEMON PEEL, WET STONE, FLORAL, ALMOND SKIN, NO OAK
Bone dry and ultra-light, with sharp acidity and soft, airy citrus notes, ‘Zehnkomanull’ (which means “10 point 0,” referencing that the wine never ferments past 10% abv) is made from rescued parcels of steeply terraced, old-vine Elbling (an ancient grape believed to have arrived in Germany 2,000 years ago with the Romans). Convivial, refreshing, and delightfully simple, it's a wine meant to be enjoyed and not overthought.
ECOLOGY : Sustainable; hand-picked; no insecticides, pesticides, or herbicides are used in the vineyard.
PAIRING : Seared Kingfish with Fresh Greens
