Another great vintage of a very overlooked Gutedel. Nose is superb. Lots of complex minerality. Herbs and subtle spice. Lanolin and a wonderful windy airiness. So pretty. Reminds me of a lean Jacquere from Savoie. Just killer. Smells like a scene in nature. Standing on a clearing in a forest overlooking a beach with the wind blowing the detritus. What a wonderful smell. Some peach skin if you really are looking for fruit. Chasselas in general has no fruit to speak of. Palate is wonderful. Big time structure and density with intense minerality and sap. Very fresh, very pure, with such a nice core of minerals. Like liquid rocks. Some herbs and some sort of umami flavor. This is so clean and so pure. Long finish. Like way longer than it should be. Easily best Gut&Edel I’ve had from Max. What a wine and what a finish. A true sum of its parts wine.
Acid gets more metal as this airs. Nose becomes more floral and also herbal. Truly wow. Almost a 9.5. So intense and tangy. Some intense high acid grapefruit confectionary goodness! — 4 years ago

Doring Bay, Western Cape South Africa Sauvignon Blanc 2017 mit 14,5 Volumenprozent
Ein toller Wein, würzig, intensiv, leichte Alterungsnoten Richtung Sherry, von der Farbe noch hellgrün und im Abgang noch deutlich als Sauvignon Blanc zu erkennen. — 5 years ago
Dry, good acidity which is a little unusual for a Riesling. Good weight, bright color, this wine is delicious! — 5 years ago

Rosie is serious like a red German Spat, with all the complexity, layers, minerals, a dial back in earthiness in lieu of a little wooded fruit. Beautiful to stare through. Glowing crimson ruby with browned edges. Aromas are complex. Cherry watermelon and rose petals. Serious Rose' and flexing without moving into the dense syrupy side of things. — 4 years ago


A brilliant Gutedel. Nose is smoke, mineral, leather and spice. Peach and melon. After air Huge spice and almost potpourri. So pure. So clean. Wonderfully expressive. Palate is super fresh and clean. Dazzling freshness and so so so drinkable. Wow. Amazing cut and clarity. Great fruit which is unusual for Gutedel. Peaches and apricots and a hint of bitter green fruits. So so well made. A masterpiece dare I say. Terrific acidity and so pure. Sappy. This is so great. — 6 years ago

Ende Januar 2022 eine weitere Flasche erst 4 Tage dekantiert und dann glasweise je Tag getrunken. Ein feiner Wein, weich, rund, aber dennoch kernig bei moderaten Tanninen und Depot. Bewerung voll bestätigt. — 4 years ago
Fast schon ausgezockt mit der Lagerung, sehr deutliche Sherry und Reifenoten, aber ein sehr feiner Wein für einen kühlen Sommerabend im August 2021.

Traditional, classic and (relatively) under-the-radar producer, which was completely unknown to me, till a few months ago.
Wonderfully feinherb, rich, yet elegant.
Lovely. — a month ago
