Tasting from 09.10.2019: Peter Moser

Medium greenish-yellow in colour with silver reflections. A broad and complex bouquet, with fine yellow tropical fruit (papaya and Cape gooseberry in particular) and bright cherry underlaid with candied citrus zest. The palate is juicy, with a fine core of fruit sweetness and elegant texture. Good freshness remains throughout. Ripe yellow peach nuances on the mineral finish, this has safe development potential.
