  Really loving this. Custard, straw, lemon, stone, and baking spice on the nose. Way more stone fruit on the palate, with nice grip and persistence. This feels quite youthful, and I think more time will bring more complexity, but this is delicious now.

  Mittleres Gelb. Offene Nase nach Caramel, Schwarzbrot und exotischen Früchten, dazu kommen nussige Noten, Kräuter. Im Gaumen üppig, cremig, rund, reife Frucht, top Säurestruktur, das Holz mit der safgigen Frucht verwoben, dezente Gerbstoffe, gute Länge. Ein spannender New-World Wine der mit rund 60 Euro nicht günstig ist, jedoch performt!

  Straw-yellow. Gorgeous nose of nutmeg, earth, oak, vanilla, peach and green plums. Subtle walnut note. Spicy palate of great intensity. Very buttery, but the power of the fruit supports the elevage. Superb acidity brings it all together. Absolutely outstanding, and drinking very well.

  Light golden color. Floral and bright citrus nose along with something slightly candied. Subtle and contemplative Chardonnay with graceful mouthfeel and high acidity.

  Tasted blind.
  
  Excellent, great value. Flowers, citrus, peaches, rocks on the nose; honeyed lemon and slight buttery, nutty-ness and oak presence on the palate. Balanced with wonderful acidity that had me thinking of both riesling and high quality burgundy from a warm vintage at half the price.
