Tasting note
Golden yellow hue, and massive tears. On the nose are scents of yellow apple, apple strudel, honeydew melon, lemongrass and a hint of lentils with ground pepper. The expressive palate delivers juicy fruit flavours – apple, quince, kiwi – along with notes of salt and pepper, lemon cake and tzatziki. Perfectly dry. The agile acidity melds perfectly with the creamy texture. Compact body, tight structure – and enormous tension! Wonderful varietal typicity with a long citrus finish. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
