Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 20, 2023 - My 600th unique wine noted on CellarTracker!

… and what a surprising one this was. Only having tried a Gelber Muskateller from Knoll and seeing this at 13.5% ABV, I was expecting some very closed, powerful, bitter and dry Riesling - but I was completely wrong!

Both nose and palate were super inviting and so amazingly fresh and fruity with an insane mineral core. Unripe pineapple, white peach, green apple, greengage, gooseberry, unripe mango, passion fruit and then there’s a really insane lemon/lime juice acidity and tartness. Crushed chalk and wet stone mixed with a slight herbalness and a hint of petroleum.
The beautiful and sharp acidity together with the slight tropical sweetness and the piercing minerality while you cannot feel the alcohol was just perfectly in balance.

Not sure if this enters a dumb-phase but it drinks so lovely now.
