Tasting notes
Ripe white peach is coolingly mint-tinged on the nose and the luscious, alcoholically featherweight though palpably extract-rich palate. Hints of stone and salt add interest to a liltingly refreshingly lingering finish that, at least for now, lacks quite the clarity or mineral intrigue exhibited by the corresponding Hütte.

Understated nose, perfectly judged sweetness that is framed by fine, crisp acidity. Quite thick in texture. Lovely mixed-peel complexity to finish. (RH)
White peach, white flowers, mint and plenty of chalky minerals, blended into elements of smoky slate to perfection. The wine is racy but also delivers a delicately smoothing feel of creamy grapefruit on the palate. While it does have the presence of a light Spätlese, the wine remains light-footed and completely elegant right into the apricot blossom infused finish and leaves one with a superbly airy, delicately fruity and mineral feel in the after-taste.
Deep spicy lemon aroma and a peachy richness. A touch of white mushroom on the palate and a bright, dancing freshness. Zingy finish and good length. (JH)
