Tasting note
Shiny green-gold hue. The intense bouquet yields notes of cucumber, candied ginger, dried dates, arancini (candied orange peel), white pepper and green olives; becomes fresher with air. Tight structure with light-footed alcohol, generous salinity, delicate extract sweetness and notes of pineapple and lime jelly; also some tones of pepper, clove and yellow apple. Full and round, yet refreshing at the same time. The velvety smooth creaminess goes on and on. A Juicy grapefruit finish. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Food recommendation
baked or fried dishes – especially Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad.
