Bright green-yellow in colour. Complex bouquet. Initial ripeness meets roasted coffee bean and citrus notes. Hints of tangerine in the background. Great elegance and mineral fireworks on the palate. Vital, piquant acidity. Fine herbal spice. Excellent depth and length.

Greenish yellow in colour. Nose characterised by citrus aromas and yellow fruit with planty and ethereal notes. Also hints of butter and vanilla. A Chardonnay with radiance. Vital, savoury and animating. Straightforward style, ripe acidity. Outstanding length and persistence.

Delicate salmon pink. Fine, quickly rising perlage. Initially smells of red and green apple, then after a few minutes in the air increasingly complex with a rich aroma of quince and cassis, later also of bergamot and ginger. On the tongue with a delicate yeasty note, floral-vegetable component, ripe acidity and very good length.

Golden yellow. Fine perlage. Yeasty, restrained brioche aroma with delicate Riesling fruit. For all its purism, very balanced and on the tongue with aromas of grapefruit and fine nuances of green-red apple. In the finish also some melon. Very long and persistent.

“Versektet in Flörsheim-Dalsheim” (Made to sparkling wine in Flörsheim-Dalsheim) is the meaningful note on the label. White golden straw yellow. Fine, quickly rising bubbles. Straightforward aroma of yellow lemon with a hint of Moroccan mint. Dry in the mouth, quite puristic in appearance. Very good length. Vegetal notes in the finish. Immediately recognisable as a Rheingau Riesling in our blind tasting.

Golden yellow. Fine perlage. In the nose, iridescent. At times the fruit of a ripe pear appears, then again liquorice takes up almost the entire perceptible space. Also hints of walnut. On the palate, a typical vintage representative with rather little fruit, but creamy substance. Sustained and with very good length.
