Floral, aromatic, luscious, delicious Alsatian-style white from Abe Schoener of Scholium Project! Named after the Alsatian wine region (Riquewihr), this white wine is as interesting and delicious as all others by Abe. Coming in a short, squatty, 500 ml bottle, it's literally the perfect size to split over dinner.

I have to borrow winemaker Abe's - what a phenomenal wine: 2005 GUMAN VINEYARD NEREIDES: From the same remarkable 1-acre, 25 year-old backyard vineyard that produced the 2002 Sylphs. 2005 was our first year back in the vineyard (I did not have sufficient funds to purchase the fruit in the intervening years), and as wonderful as it was to receive the fruit again-- it was a difficult year for the vineyard. Chardonnay was hard-pressed by mildew all over the North Bay in 2005, and this vineyard was bit deeply. We put more than two-thirds of its fruit on the ground, and harvested very very slowly, comparing each cluster to samples of acceptable fruit that I had fixed to a board at the foot of the vineyard. Combatting the mildew stressed the vines severely, which was good and bad for the fruit. The perfect clusters that we harvested were intense in flavor, with beautifully defined acidity-- they tasted like hillside fruit, not the usual rich, thick-skinned grapes from this vineyard. The wine resulting wine is very complex, with extraordinary length, and an a pyrotechnic finish. Since it does not have the richness or startling power of the 2002, I have given it a new name: Nereides, the female sea-spirits of Ancient Greece. The 2002 was marked by its yeast; this wine by its sea-side iodine character. 76 cs
