Blend of 65 % Pinot Blanc and 35 % Pinot Noir grapes from the 2017 vintage, disgorged in February 2020. Straw yellow. Very fine perlage. Elegant scent of raspberry, apricot, sage and a hint of vanilla. On the tongue it seems extraordinarily filigree and with a little air increasingly multilayered. Delicate spice of green herbs and honey. Long and persistent.

From the single vineyard Dürkheimer Steinberg, disgorged in December 2019. Pale straw yellow with light grey. Fine perlage. Varietal nose with scents of peach and citrus, alongside a hint of brioche. Focused and gripping, pure Riesling with good acidity and fine sparkling wine character. Very good length.

Disgorged in February 2020, bright lemon yellow. Fine, quickly rising perlage. On the nose with aromas of yeast and roasted almond. Shows clear traces of malolactic fermentation. In the mouth delicately creamy, with vegetal aromas, a slightly lactic component, melon, pumpkin and pumpkin juice and some grapefruit on the finish. Very good length. Undoubtedly polarising in its style, clearly develops to its advantage after a few hours of air.

100 % Pinot Noir, from the single vineyard Wachenheimer Mandelgarten, disgorged in June 2020. Light salmon pink. Very fine perlage. Fine yeasty Pinot scent with hints of strawberry, very close to a rosé wine. Refreshing, precise and clear on the palate, glides easily over the tongue. In the finish a little sweet jam, but at the same time also spicy grapefruit aromas. Very long.

Symbols
🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
