Tasting Notes

Tasting from 24.04.2026: Benjamin Herzog und Dominik Vombach

Medium golden brown, brass reflections. Delicate dried plum notes with a hint of roasted nuts, yellow fruit cherries, fine caramel rancio, inviting bouquet. Medium complexity, taut, delicate oranges, silky tannins, extract-sweet finish, balanced, salty-lemony, good persistence, in the typical dry style of the variety. (PM)
