Tasted on 29 March 2021 by Werner Elflein

Grey lemon yellow. In the nose, initially only discreet fruity hints, then with a little air, distinct Sauvignon aromas with notes of elderberry, pink grapefruit and some gooseberry. An impressive minerality unfolds on the tongue, which, in keeping with the name of the wine, is reminiscent of a rock face made of pure shell limestone. Puristic and sparse on the one hand, but on the other hand still very fruity, which makes it seem as if the wine consists of two factions that are not necessarily reconciled, but rather wait and watch each other critically. Good body, adequate acidity, excellent length, vibrant finish. Great and sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc.

Cuvée of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Deep, slightly purplish pink. Fine perlage. Focused, straight Pinot scent of partly ripe, partly pickled strawberry with a hint of raspberry and some sauerkraut in the background. Delicately yeasty on the tongue, strawberry again, finesse-rich carbonic acid, exciting fruit acid, fresh and invigorating, very good length.

Tasted on 10 April 2021 by Werner Elflein

Golden yellow. Cool, citrusy aroma with clear hints of flint. In the background a little caramel and vanilla. Highly mineral and marked by the chalky soil, definitely reminiscent of Burgundy, but at the same time independent style, but also likely to polarize due to its uncompromising stringency in terms of varietal character and origin. Great freshness, vital acidity, complex and with excellent length and persistence. Can (and should) still mature.

Cuvée of Bacchus and Scheurebe. Full golden yellow. Fine, lively perlage. Individual bubbles rise visibly in the glass. Smells of rendered bacon and smoked bacon, dried fruit, pear, quince. In addition, lactic hints and notes of lightly caramelised sugar. Present carbonic acid, acidic note on the palate, foams on the tongue, very good length.
