Tasting note
Golden yellow with thick tears. The restrained nose yields discreet scents of hot stone, yellow fruits and green tea – and it develops with air. The palate reveals a taut structure, a chalky grip, powerful extract and vital acidity with salty undertones; also notes of apricot juice, lemon jelly and pomegranate seeds that lead to a long citrus finish. An appetising mineral bomb with excellent potential. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
