Tasting note
Golden yellow hue. Voluminous tears. Needs air in the glass; then come scents of dried fruit, brewer’s yeast, hops and hot stone. Wonderfully dry with juicy fruit, fresh acidity and salty tones accompanying the notes of baked apple, lemon sorbet and salted almonds. Powerful body with a tight structure, chalky texture and a minerally bitter touch on the finish. A sophisticated wine with potential. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Food recommendation
