| Tasting Notes |
Full bodied and elegant "A white with hot stones, dried lemon rind and hints of sage on the nose and palate. Medium body. Fruity finish. From organically grown grapes." Score: 91, James Suckling, July 2019 "Vivid straw-green. The mineral, floral nose is very pure and clean. Then fresh and juicy, featuring flavors of crushed stones, apple and quince complicated by lemon verbena. Long and vibrant on the juicy finish. This is a delightful, easygoing Sylvaner boasting outstanding clarity and cut. Will make a great, fresh aperitif. (ID)" Score: 92, Vinous, Feb 2019 "A glint of ripe lemon and lifted hayflower escapes from the glass despite the shy nose of this wine. The palate emphasizes the lemony freshness and adds a pithy textural element that underlines the harmonious slenderness of the wine. The finish is bone dry and elegant." Score: 91, Wine Enthusiast, May 2020 |
