Tasted on 23 December 2019 by Werner Elflein

Bright yellow with sparkling reflexes. Mineral nose with subtle aromas of yellow stone fruit and slate heated by the sun. Only after a good two seconds on the tongue does the power inherent in the wine emerge. However, the alcohol, which is certainly noticeable, is well integrated. Sensory extremely dry, but very balanced and despite its puristic character with charm. Challenging, but not disturbing. A good accompaniment to food and here even an alternative to a (high class) Chardonnay. Excellent length and sustainability.

Tasted on 1 October 2019 by Werner Elflein

Pure white gold with golden yellow reflections. Complex, subtly fruity and floral bouquet with fine aromas of strawberry, strawberry yoghurt, rhubarb and a hint of vanilla. On the palate the almost perfect synthesis of opulence and buoyant lightness. Even 13.5 % vol alcohol does not give the impression of heaviness or opulence. An extremely present, green and herbaceous minerality completely substitutes the moderate, rather soft acidity of the vintage. At the same time it ensures a high degree of liveliness and conveys the perception of elegance and finesse when drunk, apparently in contrast to the monumental fullness and concentration. Outstanding length, very good persistence.

🯅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.
