“Gentle fruit notes hint at yellow pear, cantaloupe melon and ripe apricot. On the palate, the fruit develops real drive and is edged by the yeasty spice so typical of Grüner, accentuated by appetizing apple tartness and citric lift. The more you savor, the more this gives.”

“An intriguingly marine mingling of salinity and alkalinity marks the nose and contributes saliva inducement to the silken palate of this superbly balanced, buoyant yet rich offering. Hints of rosemary and fencerow flowers, along with struck-flint notes, bring nose-wrinkling and palate-stimulating pungency. Luscious, bright evocations of honeydew melon and fresh lime, when wedded to the aforementioned minerality and pungency, put me in mind of a Chablis or Sancerre. But there are notes of green bean as well as a rich undertone of caramelized turnip and rutabaga such as one is unlikely to encounter in wine outside of Grüner Veltliner. Complementing these low tones are intriguing ore-like notes such as found also in the corresponding Stein bottling. The vibrantly sustained finish is succulently fruity, mouthwateringly saline and invigoratingly piquant, peppery and smoky. I could scarcely believe how impressive this wine was from tank in late May, yet from bottle in September it had gained allure thanks to extended interim lees contact.”
