Tasting Notes

Karl Steininger: On the nose, ripe Riesling notes with dark spice from black tea. On the palate, almost lively with a delicate fruit melt, it impresses with a subtle interplay of acidity and sweetness, dancing on the palate. Inviting for another sip, it lingers. 19/20 points

Food Pairing

Cold starters, smoked or grilled fish, cheese skewers, antipasti, Asian cuisine.

The vintage 2011

Most properly the last strong winter. A year with heavy rainfall up until August, followed by a wonderful Indian summer that promises the best qualities.
