Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 20, 2015 - A spicy nose of citrus, honeydew, Earl Grey and jasmin. Fairly full bodied with solid acidity, finishing spicy and a bit warm (13.5 %), leaving a really dry aftertaste. Strong presence, really surprisingly powerful and intense. A Sylvaner with character and attitude, definitely something that should be enjoyed only with food.
Day2: A day later the positive development is evident. The fruit seems brighter and the mouthfeel is more relaxed, airy even, though this is still quite compact and firm. At the winery I was told this to offer good aging potential and I don't see any reason to doubt it.

A lovely, most sympathetic place, with the 90-something grandpa sweeping the driveway and all :). We didn't have an appointment made but Kerstin was most welcoming and happy to let me taste the range and discuss the wines. She did actually mention you at some point when we talked about the Finnish market. Nice wines all the way, except for the Barrique Riesling :P
