空の羽 — Sora no Hane
Born from Martin’s Lane Hyland Vineyard Riesling 2024, 空の羽 — Sora no Hane transforms an unexpected vintage into a song about becoming stronger through change. A cold snap altered the wine’s path; botrytis gave it greater depth. From that tension emerged the image of a white dove in an open sky—and a bilingual song in which hardship becomes wind, scars become light, and Ava claims her moment to fly.
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.

I did not know what to expect - and I certainly did not expect such intense complexity delivered in such a free spirited elegance. I became a fan that day.
