More about the tastingMedium yellow green, light silver reflections. Hints of apricot and orange in the background, with smoky minerality, nuances of mandarin zest, supported by a hint of blossom honey. Complex texture, very full-bodied, fine fruit expression with notes of yellow apple and mango, perfectly integrated acidity, shows enormous length, delicate spice in the finish, has now developed perfectly and somehow still seems far too young for its ten years. A very inviting, seductive Grüner Veltliner, which has now reached its first drinking peak, but could perhaps have even more to offer.
More about the tastingMedium greenish yellow. Very inviting nuances of tangerine and orange zest on the nose, exotic fruit notes and delicate blossom honey: a multi-faceted bouquet. Powerful on the palate, but not too opulent, fully ripe green apple, perfect acidity, dark mineral notes and fine fruit expression. It lingers for minutes and already has perfect harmony. Great Veltliner cinema. A wine as if from a single mould.
