The 2023 Rosé is deep, complex and layered, with ripe nectarine, rose garden and sweet cherry fruit notes. Beautifully expressive and floral on the nose, savory, salty mineral tones meet red berry freshness and an undercurrent of spice in the mouth. A touch of almond bitterness grabs at the edges of the tongue toward the close, striking great harmony with a rounded sweetness. Bravo. (Billy Norris, Vinous, May 2024)

A go to value wine.

This is Marcel Diess’ entry level wine. Many of his wines go for hundreds. The thing is, he has no clue how to make an entry level wine and this is just amazing.

Get it and it’s nectarine juiciness before the secret is out. — a year ago

Honeysuckle and nectarine with a hint of almond (paired beautifully with the almond cake it was served with). — 5 months ago

This is “will never forget the first time I tried it” level. Definitely greatest wine I’ve ever tasted in its category, possibly best sweet wine. Starts much paler than I expected, light gold. Nose is a journey, surprises with freshness, liveliness though with the highest concentration imaginable. White peach, white nectarine, lychee, rose water, intense white florals, an after-rain sense of freshness. On the palate yet another surprise: so much minerality (!!!) that the intensity gets carried by bright, almost riesling-like acidity and the insane amount of sugar is so well balanced that it’s barely noticeable until the crazy long finish. What a ride!!! — a year ago

Charming and easy to drink but with some saline complexity. Mineral nose, same on the palate it with all sorts of white nectarine and golden delicious goodness. — 9 months ago

9.1

White pear, white peach, nectarine, crushed stone, white pepper, high acidity. Expensive Rose. May or may not be worth it. — 2 years ago

9.2

Nose has lemon zest with some pith, over-ripe pear, quinine, crushed limestone and lemon slice.

Palate has candied lemon, dehydrated lemon, under-ripe nectarine (or any yellow stonefruit), faint orange flesh note on the medium finish, clean.

A great wine to enjoy by a roaring fire in the chiminea this sunny afternoon. — 2 years ago
