Tasting Notes

Tasting from 29.06.2026: Peter Moser

Medium golden yellow with silver highlights. Delicate floral notes, a hint of passion fruit, candied lime zest, and a mineral touch. Complex, juicy, white peach, fresh acidity, subtle sweetness, lingers beautifully, salty finish, very youthful, will benefit from further bottle aging.
