Tasting from 27.07.2022: Anne Krebiehl MW

Two parcels within two single estate vineyards make up this wine. The most subtle hints of spicy grapefruit peel and pith lead to a creamy, savoury, herbal aromas that also seem to have a real scent of wet pebble. Fermented in up to 60% new barrique with a very light toast and spends 13 months in oak, yet this is a study in subtlety. It is on the mid palate that the real explosion happens: hazelnut and passionfruit unite agains a backdrop of lime and lemon zest. Beautiful concentrated lends exquisite texture. A serene line of freshness illuminates everything. Exquisite, impressive and lasting, yet subtle.
