"The 2014 Liaison is 100% Pinot Noir with a fresh and very subtle, yet ripe and spicy nose with rose petal flavors. Low in sulfur, this is a nicely pure, fine and refreshing wine with ripe red fruit flavors, a good grip and mineral tension . . . . Just a few words about how the wines are made: All of the 2015 Pinot Noirs were vinified with 1/3 whole bunches (which are foot-trodden), 1/3 whole berries and 1/3 destemmed berries with their juice, with manual punch downs. The natural fermentation took two or three weeks before the pressing with an old, horizontal screw press (just one pressing). The must runs straight into the used barriques which are mostly from Burgundy, but in 2015 also from Bordeaux. The bottling is without any fining or filtration after roughly 13 to 14 months."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
