A robustly aromatic wine with salt water, lychee, sungold tomato, melon and green tea with some light rose water. The inviting aromatics are matched on the palate with salty minerality, fresh herbs and green tea. The texture of this wine is complex, lovely, and has mouthwatering acidity with a waxy texture.
From the producer:
2023 Big Salt is dry, aromatic and zippy. Lemon peel, mandarin and pineapple leap out of the glass. An earlier than expected harvest gave the palate lightness at just 12.0% abv. In its youth, Big Salt continues to be Muscat forward, but we find as it ages into summer that Gewurz comes to the forefront, while oceanic citrusy Riesling shines after a year in the bottle. Not that anyone is aging Big Salt, but you’ll be rewarded if you do!
