Rare Austrian federspiel from Fritz. Best on day 2. Lime zest. Orange oil. Subtle petrol. Medium yellow color indicating some ripeness despite the lower classification on this 2018.

Sugar alcohol. For me not worth drinking. All sugar and petrol.

Sour pear, peach. Stone fruit, white stone, agave, herbal. Intriguing balance of fruit and herbal minerality.

Cracking and vibrant. One of the best Federspiel’s I’ve had. Endless mineral finish.

Man '13 in Austria is fantastic. Incredible ripeness and complexity of fruit for federspiel, impactful but still lightweight.

Lovely and layered but still not as killer as the singerriedel, which is just stunning. Still perfectly tasty...
