Note di degustazione
Very ripe but fresh pear and apple are mingled with scents of lime, wet stone and salt spray. The palate is succulent, infectiously juicy, buoyant and bright, with zest of lime and skin as well as seeds of pear and apple serving for piquant, tart-edged counterpoint. The vibrant, generously fruity and refreshing finish is mouthwateringly salt-tinged. Seeing that a mere 7.5% alcohol is present, it comes as no surprise to note residual sugar in the mid-70s, yet the sweetness is supportive rather than extraneous.

This is a VDP Grosse Lage wine. Steep slopes, stony, clayey slate. Fass 10. Smoky mineral and herbal citrus, suggesting spontaneous fermentation, already complex in terms of the aroma despite its youth. On the palate, sweet flavours of ripe lemon and apricot, generous in fruit and with plenty of freshness to balance. Viscous texture and long succulent finish with just a hint of spice, beautifully integrated freshness. Needs time to gain complexity on the palate but it has delicious citrus purity. (JH)
