Tasting note
Oily gold. Fruity aromas of dried apricots, pear mustard, lemon zest and plum. Pure stone fruit notes on the palate, joined by a delicate extract sweetness, piquant acidity with exciting tension and luscious creaminess. The smooth texture reflects the stony terroir. Refreshing finish with a lengthy citrus reverberation. Wonderful varietal expression. High-quality with fabulous drinking pleasure. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
