Orange color, almost apple juice. Has a wax and honey scent, along with smoked apple skin and a bouquet of wildflowers. Semi-sweet, with some orange blossom flavors and a sticky thick texture, but not cloying or overpowering. Definitely some barrel aging in this. Really pleasant with a slight chill and would pair well with some smoked BBQ or spicy Asian food. — a year ago
A marriage between dry cider and sweet mead. Strong apple notes with honey undertones. Not too sweet. No effervescence. Nice when paired with dried fruit or mixed with brandy. — 7 months ago

This is a well made chard AND from the North Fork that ages nicely and really shines with food, like salmon and roasted tomatoes. Nose of ripe cantaloupe, bee pollen, white flowers, fennel. Really nice mouth feel, good weight, with good acidity. The palate is similar to the nose with added honey crisp apple, not sweet, and marzipan. I’ll need to get more, but maybe will see how it holds up longer. — 3 years ago
Nose is so complex. Wide open nose of spices, herbs, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, apricot, meyer lemon, so comple, Riesling perfume, also leather and slate. Age has done wonders. Airy minerality as well. What a palate, This is perfect wine. So much going on. Bittersweet cocoa and coffee and also unreal acids and super complex. In the best spot. Umami for lack of a better word on the palate. Long and chewy. Honeyed, Total bee sting on the tongue. Clean and fresh. @Delectable Wine this is the Goldtropfchen Spatlese “Jupp.” Thanks! — 7 months ago
Surprisingly delicious. I was expecting to make this into a sangria or wine-based cocktail, but it ended up being closer to a traditional rosé than a fruit wine. It paired nicely with lasagna and pastas with tomato-based sauce. Berry notes are well complemented by the rhubarb, making it off dry instead of sweet — 2 years ago
