Tasting Notes

Tasting from 22.10.2020: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Bright ruby core. Fine savoury notes on the nose of balsamic, ripe cherries and sun-ripe plum, with a hint of forest strawberries, pepper and light undertones of leather. Palate offers a salty texture, tightly woven fruit and compact tannins. A lot of drive on this youthful wine, has huge potential to develop.
