One of my all time favourites which remains one of the world's best value for money Rieslings. The vineyard's altitude lends a balance of beautiful purity of lemon & line fruit with both freshness and minerality. Fabulous, and with good potential longevity.

Seriously crafted in an intruiging way, as the lofty acidity levels will scare most people off! But I love it:) Very dry on the palate, with compressed fruit flavors, all tilting towards the unripe green/citrus side of the flavors spectrum. In a way monolithic, but this is personal stuff, aimed at the connoisseur. I wouldn't be surprised if this will surprise us all in 10+ years time. 90+?

Lovely Riesling. Some green notes that can be confused with SB, but citrus and stone fruit gives away the grape. Tasted blind and no one guessed. Some thought it was German or Austrian.

Petrol, new vinyl, lime zest. Bacing acidity with flinty, wet granite qualities. Great freshness and body. Definitely a new favorite!

Lime and petrol nose. Reduced lime peel forward flavours are prevented from an overdriven, burring finish by a taught and mineral finish.
