DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A hint of honeycomb melds into the background as juicy lemon peel, star fruit and gooseberry notes slowly take over. Picks up a citrus oil accent but stays zingy through the finish.
Clearly the lieux-dits are the future of Forge, but let’s not forget about Les Alliés, our blend of the best lieux-dits and most expressive barrels from the vintage. This year, Les Alliés aged in demi-muids presents a wine with incredible roundness and charm.
This top cuvée is meant to showcase our favorite barrels of Riesling from each vintage. It undergoes additional bottle aging and in the end, is more reminiscent of white Burgundy than Riesling. This powerful wine packs in flavors of pear tart, tangerine, glazed citrus, slate, nutmeg and white pepper—yet it is racy and brisk enough to make your teeth hurt.
