Poured from 500mL bottle (harvest 2016), quite explosive when opened. Very hazy blonde gold with minimal white head. Vinous riesling character, mild tart funk, enjoyable.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of musty grape skins, some wild yeast, and a little oaky, vinous notes. Flavour is moderately acidic, with lots of musty grape skins, oak, and musty earthiness. Not the most cohesive or complex, but I do like the Riesling character; lots of musty grape skins on the finish.

Bottle, shared by Logan. Pours a hazy yellow color, with a small, fleeting, bubbly, white head. The nose is Lemon juice, apricot, vanilla, and salt. Very tart flavor, and pretty sweet and citrusy. Medium body, with a sharp, very acidic mouthfeel. This is a pretty nice sour, but it's a little too aggressive. I didn't get any Riesling, which is a shame.
