made from organic, 15-30 year-old vine, Melon de Bourgogne grown on a variety of soils. The fruit is fermented in temperature-controlled tanks and then left on the lees for a minimum of 6 months, all of which delivers a lot of flavor - a top value - crispy, elegant, mineral, citrus profile ! A good wine 😉 — 11 years ago
phenomenal. "Minges farms with organic practices, and is in the process of transitioning to bio-dynamics; though he’s most interested in the energy in the life-cycle of bio-dynamic practices, he intends to achieve certification in the near future. Minges considers himself more as a cellar master than a winemaker, raising the wines from their birth on the vine as ‘children,’ the grapes need nurturing in the vineyard, then as ‘teenagers’, turbulent in fermentation, they need to be left alone, finally maturing for as long as possible, undisturbed on their lees, eventually coming into their own character. These philosophies guide his decisions: meticulous work in the vineyard, spontaneous fermentation in stückfass, an extra long time on gross lees, extremely minimal sulphur use and only at bottling." — 12 years ago
An organic wonder! Found this at a free tasting and was immediately please with its drinkability. There is a subtle earthy spice, which likely reflects the natural treatment and longevity of the soil from where the grapes are grown. Apparently the 'youngest' vine on the vineyard is 40 years old. The finish is wet and just pleasantly short enough. Love this for everyday. And the different bottle is a nice departure which makes it fun to take to dinner parties. — 12 years ago

Organic, old vine Riesling. The name translates into something like "yummy mountain". It's like perfect dried peaches and apples. With wine in there. Crazy. — 12 years ago
