Tasting from 18.02.2020: Ulrich Sautter

Pronounced, savoury new wood, subtle apple notes. On the palate, an exciting combination of substance and creaminess, and mild acidity. The wood offers an additional rounding effect, followed by excellent extract with moderate alcohol. A stylish Chenin from the Cape with huge potential.
