Under the Fifth Moon

TASTING NOTES:
Chenin Blanc - “Exotic layers of Asian pear, Golden Delicious apples and jasmine transition into a seductive mouthful of flint, lemon curd, spiced pears and lanolin. Fantastic acidity backs up a crunchy mid-palate full of personality and precision, with a finish that goes on for days.” (AbV 12.9%, pH 3.33, TA 7.1 g/L, RS 0.9 g/L)

Grüner Veltliner - “Ripe peach, white nectarine, lime blossoms, orchard fruit and subtle notes of grain lead into a lean yet unctuous mid-palate full of minerals and sandy loam. Lingering notes of wasabi and lime finish clean, making for a complex wine that is provocative without the pretension.” (AbV 13%, pH 3.24, TA 6.9 g/L, RS 0.3 g/L)

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Tết Đoan Ngọ.

In RD Winery’s words, “The name, Fifth Moon, is an ode to the Vietnamese summer solstice holiday, celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar year. Food is central to the holiday. In that spirit, we present phenomenally food-friendly wines from California made to pair with dishes from around the globe.”
