Tasting note
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.
