A lot goes into making this dry, textural style of riesling.

Mostly time. Time to develop flavour and texture. Time to allow the wine to settle under gravity rather than filtration. 

A full flavoured style, lots of lemon, apples, spice with background almond and florals. Zingy acidity, yet has breadth through the palate.

Fermented in ceramic, matured for two years in foudre.

Something interesting: This wine is bone dry and unfiltered which is only possible as the long time on lees, skin-contact and warmer ferments has given the wine a lot more texture and settle out naturally. Most rieslings that are turned around in a couple of months haven't time to achieve this mouthfeel or clarity so generally have unfermented grape sugar added prior to filtration to fill the palette.
