  Visit to the estate. Current production is around 120k bottles overall on 14 hectares. General snippets from the tasting: i/ The estate used to be larger, but several hectares were sold off in order to focus on only the best sites. ii/ In 2021, they lost 50% of production due to frost damage right after budbreak. iii/ A warm region where they can‘t do Riesling, but protected by the black forest from too much heat. iv/ Non grafted vines. v/ All reds are equally aged in lightly toasted French oak, 1/3 new, 1/2 used once, 1/3 second use, a more light-handed approach by Julian Huber compared to Bernhard Huber who used to work with more new wood.
  
  Tasting note:
  Disgorged November 2023. Zero dosage. Sparking wine is not the focus of the estate, but demand is there and they are therefore dabbling a bit with this. According to the estate, the 2017 is in a good spit right now and shouldn’t be cellared too long longer. Autolytic notes of yeast, pear fruit. Cool minerality, but not much else going on. The palate lacked somewhat structure and came across rather flat. Mostly citric flavors here.

  Fassprobe
  香气中有比较多的维生素C片、粉尘、贝壳、金属之类的气味，随后过渡到清脆新鲜的青苹果和脆梨之类的果味，颇为开朗青春，后段有轻微胭脂和粉末。口感很干，酸度高而显得较瘦，骨架感较足，带有青苹果、柠檬、柚子之类的果味，后段不太长。88/100
