This was my second bottle (spaced 1 yr apart) and while it drinks like a SauvBlanc, this bottle seemed to have lost about 25% of its acid. Nevertheless, this paired wonderfully with our winter caprice baguettes ( think bruschetta ). That touch of lime is very pleasant and the minerality refreshing!

This is my second review of this build from the fantastic 2017 vintage… 46% Muscat Ottonel provides sturdy viscosity while 22% vermintino + 16% Viognier + 16% petit manseng energizes the acid and structure. Altogether elegant while the acid from 2 1/2 years of bottle aging is weaning a bit… It provided beautiful lime sweetness and verve when paired with our caprice salad on baguette. Opulent floral nose and elevated mouth feel make for a very distinguished build… On par with some of the finest Rieslings on the East Coast for reference.  — 4 years ago
Had with friends with an orange cake desert and it was perfect. Cognac like aromas and flavors without the alcohol. Candied orange peel with a whisper of saffron. — 10 months ago
Quite nice - even as saignee method. Yes, a rich extraction, but not heavy handed. Seems to have a touch of residual sugar to balance the thicker mouth feel and generous acidity. Pleasant sipper and worked with Caprice on baguette too :) — 5 years ago

Nose: that brown note like the hofer. Lifting florals.
Palate: hint heat goes away. Medium cherry. Spice. Balancing bitterness.
