Pale yellow. Slender, in front of the grape variety background rather reserved rose scent. Aromatic on the palate with an aromatic attack, later on the tongue with a rather discreet fruit. Currently still clearly marked by carbonic acid. Needs several hours of air to open up. Good length. Delicately creamy finish.

Bright yellow with straw yellow accents. Slender, discreetly buttery bouquet with fine notes of green apple and a hint of vanilla. On the tongue with a lively attack, animating play and ripe, well-integrated acidity. Very long and quite persistent. Presents itself already in its youthful phase quite accessible.

Brilliant, bright and reflective yellow. Still youthful nose, marked by the bottling. Characterful and gripping, uncompromisingly dry Riesling with vital, vibrant acidity and striking minerality. Shows aromas of green apple after treatment in the Ovarius decanter. Spicy and piquant, with a long finish.

Pale yellow with straw yellow reflections. Fragrance of green apple with delicate vanilla notes. In the mouth with a lot of freshness and slim Pinot Gris aroma. Focuses on lightness and uncomplicatedness. Good length.

Bright, white-golden shining lemon yellow. Bouquet rich in aromas and marked by the pyrazines of the grape variety, with scents of gooseberry and grapefruit. On the tongue, tropical and citrus fruits, especially pineapple, join in. It is more reminiscent of the New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs than of the Loire, but its style is not clear. Animating acidity. Very dry. Long and persistent.

Salmon pink. Fruity, slightly acidic scent of nectarine and pink grapefruit. Grasping, with persistent aroma and animating freshness. Uncompromisingly dry taste. Very long and persistent. A Rosé from the picture book.

Bright yellow. Delicately spicy, in nuances also delicately smoky fragrance with hints of orange. Juicy Riesling with sweet-sour, quite expressive fruit, animating play, integrated acidity and good length.

Medium yellow with a straw yellow touch. Fine, buttery, serious vanilla scent without any noteworthy fruit component. Lines the mouth without appearing ponderous. Lives from an excellent balance of all taste parameters and radiates a great inner calm. Very good length and persistence.

Bright straw yellow with golden reflections. Finest barrique notes with clear vanilla aromas and nuances of stone fruit. Consistent from nose to finish. Good presence on the palate with excellent alcohol. Quiet but decisive, without any heaviness. Lively acidity. Very long and persistent. Has style and substance. Reminiscent in style of a high class Chablis.

Discreetly cloudy garnet red of medium transparency. Woody, herbal scent of cranberry and caramel. Elegant Pinot fruit supported by vital acidity and present toasty aromas. Very long. Needs time.

Brilliant dark garnet red with medium transparency. In the nose clear barrique note. Slightly sweetish fragrance with aromas of sour cherry, cranberry and cranberry jam. On the tongue still undeveloped with pithy, partly still astringent tannins, which however, after contact with air, indicate a high tannin quality. Vital and invigorating acidity, very good length. From 2025 on, the time window for the enjoyment of this ambitious Pinot Noir should open.

Dark and almost opaque garnet red. In the nose clear roasted aromas with a chocolaty touch. Concentrated scent of cranberry and blackberry. On the tongue dense and still quite distinctive tannins, which are however more fine-grained than in the similar Pinot Noir “Am Kirchberg”. Stylistically, they and the use of wood are reminiscent of Jean Stodden, so that a long maturing time of at least ten to 15 years can be assumed here as well. Very good length.

Slightly transparent black red. Opens only after prolonged aeration. Scent of red currant, ratatouille and milk chocolate. On the tongue with coarse and fine grained, still slightly astringent tannins, stable acidity, again some milk chocolate and a fine herbal note. Good length.
