Featuring 2019 Rasa “The Composer” Encore Riesling (95 Points)
This isn’t your patio Riesling.
The 2019 Composer Encore spent five years aging on its lees, building texture and depth while holding onto electric acidity. Dry, mineral driven, and layered with green apple, lime peel, and subtle richness, it is precise yet powerful.
For this tasting, we’re joined by Billo Naravane, owner and winemaker and one of fewer than 500 Masters of Wine worldwide. Bilo will guide the experience alongside us, sharing insight into the wine’s evolution, structure, and the intent behind every decision.
We’ll explore how sweetness, spice, and fat play against the wine’s structure. How honey makes it bloom. How heat makes it pop. How acidity keeps you coming back for another bite and another sip.
This is a guided tasting built around one wine and a full progression of pairings. Generous, interactive and meant to be shared.
Good wine. Good food. Pour Decisions.
