What a nice surprise this is. Juicy, earthy and punching well above its weight. Perfectly balanced. Wine sourced from younger vines in the Ahr valley, which was ravaged by devastating flooding in 2021. — 2 years ago

Tricky blind if there wasn't a preceding Portugieser in the line-up. Very elegant with notes of cherries, roses, and dried spices, along with a touch of smoke and musk. Fresh and juicy on the palate. Simpler, but very enjoyable - an impressive effort considering the varietal. — 2 years ago
