  13% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Pale, rather neutral whitish-green color. Fresh and fruity nose with bright, slightly Sauvignon Blanc-esque aromas of ripe greencurrants, some fresh red apple, a little bit of honeyed richness, light exotic notes of passion fruit and a touch of stony minerality. The wine is balancing nicely between with freshness and ripeness on the palate. It feels moderately full-bodied with clean flavors of ripe red apples, stony minerality, some nectarine, a little bit of passion fruit, light tart notes of lemony citrus fruit and a hint of ripe greencurrant. Balanced high acidity. The finish is fresh and mouth-cleansing with quite long flavors of stony minerality, lemony citrus fruits, some tart green apple, light sweeter notes of nectarine and passion fruit and a cool hint of gun metal.
  
  A youthful, fresh and harmonious Pinot Blanc that effortlessly combines bright, acid-driven freshness with almost exotic-fruited ripeness. Drinking wonderfully now, but showing good potential for future development. A well-made, serious example of German Pinot Blanc. A steal at 12€.

  Vor allem mit etwas Luft schöne leichte Toastnote, dazu Birne, Minze, Limette. Am Gaumen kommt kurz aber gewaltig die Zitrusnote durch. Dann scheint der Wein kurz andeuten zu wollen, er könnte etwas breit werden wollen, aber das ist nur eine kleine Finte. Denn es geht ganz langsam die Säure in eine sehr dunkle, sehr geradlinige und elegante steinige Note über, dazu legt sich ebenso langsam aber stetig Salz auf die Zunge und das Ganze schafft einen wahnsinnig fokussierten Abgang mit klasse Länge. Wo soll denn da die Reise mit der ***-Version noch hingehen?!
