Greenish yellow gold. Very fine, quickly rising bubbles. Delicate brioche hue, quite restrained on the nose with discreet citrus and peach aromas, but also with a slightly exotic component of passion fruit. Presented initially very puristic, with pronounced acidity and gripping, but harmonises very quickly in the glass and then appears much smoother. Some coffee in the finish. Very good length.

Straw yellow. Many small bubbles. Gorgeous multi-layered aroma of yeast pastry with candied lemon, yellow citrus, lemongrass, elderberry and concentrated sweet grapefruit. Hints of herbs and tropical fruit. Continues the taste experience conclusively on the tongue: again the aromas already perceived in the nose, embedded in a highly refined mousseux. Excellent length.

Full straw yellow. Very small, slowly rising bubbles. Fine yeast note, aromas of Williams pear and herbs, especially lovage. Full of character and certainly not Everybody's Darling. Some coffee on the palate. Excellent length.

🯅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.
