Tasting note
Golden yellow hue with pronounced tears. Restrained but very complex nose: dried fruit, orange zest, lemon verbena, pickled gherkin, dill and herb butter. Dense mouthfeel – yielding enormous minerality, extract sweetness, balanced acidity and a gripping texture. Discreet notes of stone fruit and dried pear – and long-lingering lemon jelly. Dynamic tension. The generous minerality guarantees exciting potential. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
