Wine description

Complex, yellow fruit aroma, typically Seeberg. Very dense with a slender body, according tot he vintage with its ease and freshness.
The invigorating acidity, paired with the compact body, coming from old vines guarantees good ageing potential. Very good vibrancy in
the finish. An elegant Seeberg!

Wine description

Gently smoky, fine yellow peach fruit, a whiff of spicy forest honey, complex. The palate is succulent, highly sophisticated, lots of finesse and
a tightly structured acidity, supply-grippy touch in the final. Convincing length and ageing potential. If Steinmassl is the blossom, Seeberg has
got to be the fruit! Decanting recommended.

Wine description

Spicy stonefruit, discreet in the aromatics, but solid and restrained. Tastefully, the vintage shows again the tension curve, which is reknown firstly by
Riesling and secondly from the vineyard! Pleasant, invigorating acidity, piquant and fruity taste, wonderfully full yet slim. Convincing length and
maturity potential.

Wine description

Oily tears. With air, the wine develops charming scents of greengage plum and orange. Shows enormous tension, and exudes notes of lemon
slices and stone fruit. The mineral structure has grip, and the finish is spicy and salty. Extremely long with a very promising potential.
