Straw golden in colour yet this is no Spätlese.
Puristic, pure and stony mineral in the nose - slate, warm stones, a salty whiff and only far in the back - a piece of white peach, a slice of underripe pineapple, a few drops of honey.
Clean as a whistle and so fresh.
On the palate this is tightly wound and with great focus & depth, yet this has some substance & weight, too.
White peach, apricots, white pear and some rye toast. And lots of stones. And some white tea like tannins. And a very long, mineral, pure, beautiful finish, that leaves a hint of creaminess in the after taste.
What a beautiful, complete & complex wine!

Quite rich, slightly smoky, with yellow stone fruit and an exotic note.
Bright and juicy on the palate, with nice depth and cool minerality underneath the ripe yellow fruit (underripe peach, mirabelle plums).
Not as linear & crisp as I expected but a very nice, juicy Riesling. — 3 months ago

Such a hard wine to get hold of this was
Not necessarily expensive, but it has such a long story behind that i can't even start
If you know Elisabetta Foradori this guy, mr Zierock, was her first husband and probably not a well mannered either
He was a strong biodynamic Steiner believer for my understanding and i truly thought this wine was going to be just off for some silly reason
On the other hand i find still a crisp fruit, there definitely been skin contact, such a chalky mineral that emphasises the ginger, the smokiness, the honeycomb and the very long after taste
Better when room temperature
I just cant believe that the legend of the Alps mountains has actually delivered so well
Just hope we could all think twice before putting anything else than fermented grape juice into winemaking
A very special bottle i had been holding on for such a long time..a real treasure..exciting emotion!! — 5 years ago

White peach stone fruit in a hint, just a hint of diesel on opening, but the diesel smelled dissipated quickly and never came back. At first blasted almost a bit chewy yeast he kind of like a still champagne, but that changed as it opened up and got some subtle mineral notes along with the broad stone, fruit, white peach, apricot, you name it. Tried a little bit of smoked Gouda with it, and it definitely turned into a much better wine with the cheese and smokiness playing off the flavors of the semi crisp and fruity wine.  — 2 months ago
