  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:
  The oldest vines were planted in 50ies, at a time in fact when Chardonnay was not yet allowed (local regulation changed in the 80ies). Burgundy clones. Vintage was not yet for sale at the time of the tasting. Simple with pear and apple fruit and reductive matchstick notes. Toasty notes of biscuits. Broad and full-bodied palate with plenty of green apple fruit and a citric, vibrant finish.

  有着更复杂而扩散的香气，皂感带来的泡沫里笼络玉兰和轻微桂花香，连带着将苹果、桃子和柑橘调组成的果味都带动得轻盈了起来。口感紧致有力，酸度高而有主干，干浸出物触感细致光滑，结构和立体感都可圈可点，柠檬、油桃、菠萝、苹果等果味颇结实，收尾略带香料的辛辣，较长。91+/100

  Fassprobe
  香气很好，芝麻混合着玉兰和茉莉花香，包裹着苹果、柑橘、柚子、菠萝和油桃构成的整体，得益于热年有着很好的丰富度，但不乏深度，显得修长有致，后段些许奶昔和石灰粉尘等，在同年份里显得出挑。口感比起2021年份更为圆润饱满。结构完整，现在还富有冲击力，各方面还没完全整合，酸度浸润周遭，果味层叠有力，柠檬、葡萄柚、油桃、菠萝、苹果，颇为爽快。91-92/100
