It starts in stereo—bright, buzzing, and slightly off-kilter in the most enticing way. The nose is a duet: green apple skin and lime zest harmonizing with orange blossom, fennel, and a soft herbal undercurrent like crushed verbena between warm palms.
On the tongue, it’s all back-and-forth. A flash of juicy citrus, then a pull of salt and stone. A flicker of ginger heat follows behind, teasing the edge of sweetness without ever giving in. The blend—Müller-Thurgau, Gewürztraminer, Riesling—finds balance through contrast: floral and tart, fruity and firm, tight and then loose again. It never dominates. It invites.
Pair it with pan-seared halibut over celery root purée—smooth, briny, grounded. Add grilled leeks finished in sherry vinegar and toasted almonds—soft bite, sharp finish. For something off-script? Goat cheese-stuffed dates wrapped in vine leaves and charred—smoky, sweet, and a little bit kinky.
This is about tension you build together. Anticipation, release, and starting again—because the real pleasure is knowing you’re not doing it alone.
