Cuvee from Grand Crus Osterberg and Geisberg.
Critic tasting note: "(2014) >From clay and limestone soils. Still a beautiful green colour here, and a lovely nose of beeswax and bay leaf, the limey fruit beneath is lovely and very pure. On the palate it has smooth, rounded flavours, but pin-sharp with such clean and clear flavours, lots of orange and lemon peel waxiness, and a long glistening finish. Fabulous stuff, and endlessly long, this still feels abundantly youthful and powerful." - 94/100, Tom Cannavan

Handpicked as late as possible from the two grand cru sites of Geisberg and Osterberg in order to achieve maximum ripeness, which in turn, gives optimum depth of flavor and complexity.

- Winemaking
-
The grapes are pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks. The wine is not oak-aged, and is vinified to complete dryness with no residual sugar. Bottling is done early to preserve freshness.

- Ageing
-
The wine rests in bottle in the cellar for several years before reaching the marketplace.
- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Bright, medium-gold with aromas of sweet nectarine, apricot, pineapple and candied peaches. Full-bodied with intensity, depth and beautiful mineral flavor. Rich, ripe acidity on the palate. Extraordinary balance between fruit and acidity with superb length. A wine of intense minerality and powerful acidity. The ideal wine to pair with fusion cuisines.

Tasted: Jan 2014
(2014) >From clay and limestone soils. Still a beautiful green colour here, and a lovely nose of beeswax and bay leaf, the limey fruit beneath is lovely and very pure.

1990 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2011
Kräftiges Gelbgold. Reife weiße Tropenfrucht, zart nach Honig und Kräutern, saftiger Pfirsichtouch, kandierte Orangenzesten. Rassig, feine zitronige Nuancen, sehr finessenreich strukturiert, elegant, rassiges Finish, knackig und nach wie vor ein feiner Speisenbegleiter, der seine Muskeln gut versteckt.

Almost every region produced wines of fantastic quality from the Old World to the New, with very few regions suffering.
Top-performing regions still likely to be drinking very well now include Bordeaux, particularly the wines of the Right Bank, although the Lef...
