  Colour: light straw, bright. Clear.
  Nose: q reticent. Fresh, floral, slatey notes, citrus.
  Taste: light body, rounded, good taut varietal and citrus notes, great fruit/acidity balance, subtle long finish, v dry, citrus with the merest hint of petrol.
  Overall, this comes across as lightweight, particularly compared to the Oberemmeler Hütte 2021, but is not. Needs time and decanting if drunk now.
