Tasting note
An orange matte appearance with strong tears. Intense bouquet of orange zest, dried banana slices, caraway crust (of a roast) and herbal lemonade; also some graphite and resin. On the palate are notes of yellow fruit, orange, greengage plum and ginger. Completely dry with crisp acidity; firm grip with a salty tension – very mineral-defined. Immense in structure – yet easy to drink. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
