Christian Tschida, Laissez Faire

2019 - Riesling Very intense upon initial opening. If its not to your palate, perhaps give it more time to open as it welcomes a breath of fresh air after two years. Kiss fall vegetal vibes, air-exposed apple and stewed stonefruit with a hint of oxidation. Complex, fresh with pervasive minerality. High acidity. 40 year old vines. Grapes are hand harvested, destemmed, and crushed by foot. The juice ferments in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. It spends 2 years aging in large Stockinger barrels and is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulfur.
