Riesling Arie III: Er Antwortet Nicht
The 3rd Aria of the opera: “Riesling”
This is a climactic, dramatic lament sung by Liesel in her late 30s/early 40s. The aria takes place post-harvest in 1971, a legendary, "vintage of the century" for Alsace Riesling.
Upon This Hill
Upon This Hill is a cinematic, ritualistic rap — backed by Latin chants and the weight of centuries. It speaks of a nameless wine born from resilience, carried by tradition, and sharpened through defiance.
Lady Islay
This track is my personal ode to peaty, smoky Islay Scotch—the first whisky I ever truly loved.
Not tasting notes, but sound: smoke, warmth, breath, rhythm.
