Tasting note
Oily golden yellow hue. A fruity bouquet with ripe apricot precision, a hint of wild strawberry and some orange zest and fresh banana. The palate delivers crystal-clear stone fruit notes, a hint of lemon verbena and delicate extract sweetness; also a vital acidity backbone, creaminess and smooth texture. Calm and elegant with juicy drinking fun. Wonderful varietal typicity. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
