Rich yet savoury, with great depth & purity. Freshness. Precision. Spicy fullness with amazing drinkability.
Pure cherry, kirsch & amaretto, some leather, a bit of undergrowth & mushroom,
Surprisingly tannic on the palate - grupy, juicy fresh. Zippy acidity, cherry freshness, savoury purity. Delicious, complex, quite profound. Amazing wine. — 24 days ago
Usually not a fan of PG unless it comes from a Grand Cru vineyard in Alsace… or from Südtirol.
Light pale in colour, very fresh on the nose, crisp & very clear. Like mountain air in the morning. Some light pear, white pepper, a touch of dried herbs, a whiff tangerine peel. But also some rocky mineral notes.
Beautifully balanced on the palate, clean & cool & very fresh. Crunchy pears again. This one has with nice rounded mouthfeel underlined by rocky, cool minerality.
Brilliant for sipping but also serious enough for proper food. Yum!

Surprisingly sturdy & closed. Needs at least 6h to open.
Bright cherry, some leather, a bit of dried tomato.
On the palate this is savoury, dry, a touch rustic with pronounced tannins and bright, juicy acidity. A hint of tobacco leaf & roast on the finish.
Needs a lot of time to open but paired with beef this just sings. A delight worth aging. — 3 days ago
Unctous & rich yet fresh & so drinkable.
Peach & apricot galore with a pinch of spice. Plus the salty finish is just amazing.
Brilliant finish to a great evening! — 24 days ago
Beautifully aromatic, the buttered brioche slightly overpowering upon opening but fades into the background with some air, bringing white peach, orange blossom, a bit of white nougat. Slightly chalky, stony, with a saline, fresh note.
Great breadth on the palate with honeyed peach and ripe apple on the palate. But also some serious depth, Stoney, saline, mineral, with nice freshness. A mouthfeel reminiscent of a light red. Poised, elegant but also so drinkable.
Utterly delicious! — a month ago
I’m a sucker for good Vernatsch. When it comes in its light, airy, aetheric form.
Dark plums, orange peel, a hint of undergrowth. So clean & spacious. With a pinch of exotic spice.
On the palate this is light yet with the depth of old vines (up to 100y) and the cool minerality of high altitude alpine terroir.
Thank God not many enjoy this style as it’s ridiculously cheap for the quality!

Surprisingly dark on the nose with leather, turned earth, undergrowth, some roast… sun dried tomatoes. After a while a fresh orange zest & flowery note emerges to add contrast. Barely any cherry or red fruit. Dumb phase? Queer bottle? And yet - intriguing!
On the palate nicely structured and with fresh acidity. Love the quality of tannins - fine, juicy yet firm. Savoury, just a touch rustic, loads of umami flavour here.
Def. a food wine, and a very nice one, too!
Having this with some pasta, but this begs for a Bisteca Fiorentina! — 9 days ago
This came as a delightful surprise.
Round, citrusy nose with some underripe pineapple and some butterscotch. But classy, very southern Burgundian, with balance and nice depth.
Delicious, juicy palate with ripe lemon, pineapple, a bit of baked apple, the wooden accents subtly interwoven. Nice viscosity, nice flow. This is actually quite classy & very, very drinkable.
Wasn’t expecting this bottle to be so good. — 25 days ago
By far the best one from their white range.
Aged partially in acacia barrels, this shows a lovely blend of ripe pears, a touch of underripe white peach, a fresh herby mineral note - quite round yet so clean & precise.
Quite some presence on the palate. Medium body, zingy mineral acidity, beautiful mineral depth. Almost as if a slight tannic bite. Great balance & purity, beautiful long finish.
Blind I would have taken this for a racy Pinot Blanc.
Such a nice one! — a month ago

Needs _a lot_ of time to open up.
Shy, dark fruit on the nose, with tomato leaf, some leather/roast notes, a hint of balsmaico and undergrowth. Plus a flower, uplifting high note above it all. Savoury, mineral, quite fresh.
So juicy on the palate, with spicy, firm yet juicy tannins and zippy acidity. Neither heavy nor jammy - so fresh, juicy, savoury. Such depth & purity.
Absolutely lovely and so young. Don’t open for the next few years. — 3 days ago
