  Rich, tropical dry Riesling with aromas of honeysuckle, pineapple, lychee and an oily petrol. Modest acidity and somewhat buttery mouthfeel makes this atypical but very drinkable. Saffron on the finish with ever so light bitterness of kumquat on the tip of the tongue. Won’t get much better with age so drink up.

  Still very youthful and sure can do more years, bringing more complexity and secondary notes. However enjoyable now for early wine lovers and a very solid Rheingau Riesling.

  Showing well but still very youthful. Rheingau authority and a medium-plus finish. Could go much longer.

  Half bottle. Medium straw yellow colour; good fruit on the nose (pineapple, pear), green herbs, spicy minerality, good depth; supple and attractive palate, medium body (12.5% ABV) ripe but fresh acidity, lovely density and energy, vibrant bitters; complete finish, hint of vanilla cream, good length. Youthful but already approachable. Drink now - 2023.

  Complex green/yellow fruit which is cool but sweet in that weird and wonderful Riesling way, floral with hints of vanilla(?). Slightly spritzig, good intensity, a slight hint of saffron on the finish. Very nice.
