"Authentic, mineral, racy, and radiating precision!"

"There is a lovely herbaceous edge to this Spätlese, suggesting green paprika, white pepper, and garlic. At the same time, the citrus notes are powerful and pure. The medium sweetness has an oily, soapy appeal, while the acidity is taut, elegant, and structured. The finish is long and subtle. Drink now." (James Suckling 2019)
