Had a black mission fig pizza with baby arugula, gorgonzola cheese, applewood-smoked bacon and balsamic vinegar at a local BYOB tonight, and I thought this wine would be a nice match for the various flavors on the pie.
Very light yellow in the glass, with that “fruit cocktail over slate” nose that I find in riesling every once in a while. On the palate, bright acidity frames crisp white fruits, apples most prominently. Slightly dominated by the acidity right now - this was better on release, and may be in a bit of an awkward state right now, although with food it certainly holds up well enough - it’s acidity really only shows up when drinking the wine by itself. Off tonight’s showing, this wine still has years to go.
