This is my first time with this wine. I picked up a selection of 4 different wines from a local purveyor. This has a real grape skin and aloe kind of thing going on which is better than it sounds. It's more stony than minerally but rocks nonetheless. The fruit is more on the tart apple side than citrus. So it has a broader, more dense feel than the Falkenstein trockens I've been drinking but is more tense than the Weiser-Kunstler. I realize neither are perfect comparisons from a terroir perspective but I think it describes my impression. This is the "estate trocken" wine in the line-up and it is very good. Excited to find a new producer in a style that fits our drinking yet is different form things we already have in the rotation.
