Jul 30th, 2024Very exotic fruits, pineapple, super wet earth, guava, plantains, super slate and pure aromas and so so intense. This is a crazy crazy nose. Palate is all acidity and gorgeous fresh fruit that has amazing cut and clarity. Insane balance and purity. So much acid and intensity but it’s so harmonious and stunningly elegant. And my goodness this is so long and elegant. The fruit is exotic but not overripe. Unreal. Almost smells like a N rhone white. But then palate is all razors. So pure and elegant. Stunning.

Jul 25th, 2023Nose is so crazy. Wow. Insane. This is a reserve because it’s only 500 liters and 15 HL/ha. Crazy nose florals. Yellow flowers. Daisies. Lay in a wild grassland and all these flowers are blooming around you. Sweet flowers from acacia. Resinous. Beginning of the acacia flower cycle. Influenced by the stockinger barrel as well. Palate is opulent yet is refined because of the stockinger barrels. So playful versus how it was this summer. Floral palate and yellow fruits. Huge acid and high ripe acid driven tropical fruits. Wild mint and herbal. Herbal. Wild herbs and green sweetness. Very vibrant and chiseled. Used to be Arnold in the 70’s and now it’s Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Super nose and very long. You can drink now but only shows 30% of potential but will last forever.
