  A better version of Gutedel/Chasselas. Rested on yeast 22 months. Is made by a man, who used to be carpenter and classical farmer. Then he decided to become one of Germanys most interesting winemaker.
  Bone-dry: You lick stony ground.
  Nose: Flintstone. Hawthorn. Corymb rose. A whiff of apple and linden-honey. Taste: Flintstone. Quince. Mild licorice. Dry wood. After some time in the decanter good mineral length. No fruitiness. You could mistake it for a humorless, bone-dry Poully-Fuissé. Nice.

  Direkt nach dem Öffnen sehr hefig-reduktiv, verschlossen. Also ab in die Karaffe. Nach einer Stunde dann ein anderes Bild: Sehr präsente Holznote (vielleicht etwas geröstete Mandel), dazu Hefezopf und ganz wenig Steinfrucht. Am Gaumen mit für Gutedel überraschend hoher Säure, etwas warm, leicht fordernd bitter, etwas cremig. Finde hier deutlicher Steinfrucht (Apfel?) und auch kräutrige Noten, Zitrus. Hinten raus sehr lang, sehr mineralisch, auch hier etwas warm. Faszinierend, einerseits die Nähe zu burgundischen Chardonnays und andererseits die Abgrenzung weil für mich traubiger, runder, etwas molliger. Blind wäre ich natürlich fast sicher „reingefallen“.
  Mein erster Ziereisen und es wird definitiv mehr geben! Dieser hier würde mich aus einem kühlen Jahr interessieren.

  Consistent with last bottle. Very good and quite complex for a Gutedel (Chasselas).

  Opened and decanted this yesterday for 1h, then put 1/2 bottle into 187 ml bottles. This is for day 2. Aromas of apples, minerals, meyer lemon, and flowers. Lots of minerals, apples, grapefruit, mild flowers with a mildly waxy mouthfeel. Medium bodied with excellent acids. Moderately long finish with rocks and grapefruit. Drinking nicely.

  Straight-up lemony citrus with medium body and loads of acidity; reminds me of Aligote, well-made but straightforward
