Dejan’s Rielsing Italico (also known as Welschriesling, and unrelated to Rhone Riesling) is a real gem, not just because it’s rarely planted and little-known these days. 90% of the fruit is Botrytised – affected by the fungus that causes Noble Rot, creating grapes with incredibly concentrated flavor, but also tiny yields that must be hand-picked – leading to a complex, long-lived wine unlike any other we’ve tried. Fruit sees 3 months of skin contact and 30 months in oak barrel. Rife with honey, orange blossom, grilled peach, hazelnuts, and stony minerals, it's gorgeously textured and constantly changing. Keep it open for multiple days, if you can!
