| TASTING NOTE: This beautifully aromatic nose is reminiscent of the slatey Mosel. Wet stone, plenty of mineral, white flower and lime. The palate shows even a hint of petrol alongside the fresh squeezed citrus and a touch of saline. The racy acids push and pull with the sweetness on the palate. Excellent varietal character. Very good value. Score - 90 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, April 18, 2015) |
