Tasting note
Strong greenish yellow hue and oily tears. Aromas of dried fruit, lemon verbena, candied pineapple and a hint of flint. Muscular with a tight structure. Also elegant extract sweetness and zesty acidity laced with saltiness. Tremendous tension. Subtle yellow fruit expression. The pen-etrating primary rock minerality adds pressure and length. Excellent potential. A powerful wine with moderate alcohol. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Food recommendation
Baked chicken, Wiener schnitzel
