Luscious & rich yet retaining an unbelievable freshness. Nose dominated by rosemary, thyme and garrigue with a fresh whiff of mint and black pepper. Underneath this ripe blackberries, some roast and leather. On the palate this is dense, rich and with chewy yet juicy tannins. Yet this is perfectly balanced by fresh, fruity acidity... the 15% alc is perfectly integrated. This is a big, bold wine yet highly drinkable and delicious. — 3 hours ago

Quit fruit with sweet raspberry & strawberry and a touch of cream. A whiff of honeyed almonds as well. On the palate very juicy and with great purity, the fruit gives way to the elegant, filigrane structure. Great length and a finish full of energy. A great wine. — 8 days ago

Fresh and light with flowers and meadow herbs and some shy peach.
On the palate very pure and with a drink ability of crystal clean spring water. And then the power of Riesling shines through with steely lemons, peaches and slate, and this white flower Charme that started in the nose. This sings already and will definitely improve. The best in the tasting perhaps? — 8 days ago

Fresh, crunchy and vibrant with dark cherry, exotic spices and a bit of bramble. On the palate light yet with a good grip and juicy acidity. And amazing purity of fruit. This is authentic and shows real sense of place. Highly drinkable. — 2 days ago

9.4

Elegant & complex with great depth and nice tension. The low dosage give great drinkability and balances the smorgasbord of aromas with lemon tart & gingerbread, exotic fly spiced fruits and candies orange peel. Very, very fine.
A proper way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. — 3 days ago

Nose very Grünhaus-like with white flowers, shy peach, lemon peel, summer herbs + a pinch of exotics spices. On the palate light & crisp, the initially perceived sweetness balanced beautifully by the fresh & juicy acidity. This is a lovely wine with great value. And very drinkable already now. — 8 days ago

Complex & rich and very powerful on the nose with an intoxicating nose of herbs & fruit. Powerful body with an alectric tension between the steely & herby acidity and the pure fruit. Amazing balance and mouthfeel. This is a beauty. And a beast as well. Love it. — 8 days ago

Quite rich for a Pinot yet very elegant. Raspberry and fresh cherry with some nice undergrowth and the eatheric lightness of a great Pinot. Soft and velvety mouthfeel with great acidity and light, perfectly polished tannins. Finishes of with a spicy note. What a delight, and it comes from Graubünden, out of all places. — 2 days ago

Nice, light floral nose with white petals, peaches, some tangerine & lemon peel and a whiff of herbs. On the palate shows the unmistakable Ruwer filigrane structure & finesse. Peaches and lemons again and floral accents with juicy acidity and a mineral streak toward the long finish. A lovely wine. — 6 days ago
