Tasting Notes

Tasting from 29.06.2026: Peter Moser

Medium golden yellow with silver highlights. Ripe apricot, a hint of blossom honey, yellow stone fruit, candied mandarin zest, a complex bouquet. Powerful, complex, white apple, fresh acidity, a delicate hint of sweetness on the finish, still needs more time to develop, salty aftertaste.
