Staff Pick Notes

One of the leading organic wine-makers in Croatia today, Ivan Enjingi draws upon one hundred and twenty years of family winemaking history to produce this knock-out of a Welschriesling.

Macerated on the skins for three days, a bouquet of aromas greets us with honeysuckle, jasmine, and autumn fruits. Caramel apple, ripe pear, and snappy minerality entice and refresh the palate. Had a great time with left-over Chinese food and a butterscotch pudding in the garden.
