  Bright-fruited and savory, salty even, on the nose with pretty much textbook aromatics of green and yellow apple, pear, white pepper, minerals and yeast. While aromatically exactly what you would expect there is clarity and depth to it that clearly elevate to above ”standard” level. On the palate it is broader and more voluminous as many a Federspiel but it sports wonderful acidity that provide lift, focus and a nervous feel. Feels quite dry and here even more so than on the nose the salty and savory elements dominate. That is not to say that it lacks fruit, though, as the barely ripe apple-driven fruit is there in sufficient volume. As one would hope from a Federspiel this is very light on its feet and immense drinkable. Hugely successful example of this level of the Wachau hierarchy at this stage of the climate change.
