64%Kerner, 16% Riesling, 5% Bacchus, 15% Gewurz

Slightly petrol with lemon peel, stone fruit, and nutty round mouthfeel. Bitter almond skin at the end. Night acidity. Interesting.

What a pleasant surprise! The zip and zing on the front palate makes me want spicy Thai food. Mid palate is juicy and weighty, almost like stone fruit and lychee. I'm not familiar with this wine/producer/vineyard. Happy to have the opportunity to try!

The pale golden straw color is appealing, while the nose certainly isn’t scaring anyone away. Clean earth notes define the apple, papaya and lime aromas beautifully. The palate shows off-dry pear, apple and Meyer lemon flavors on a bed of acidity. Finishing long, it’s the earth and citrus that stays around after the sip. The wine’s body makes it a lot more versatile that just “salads and sipping.” Winemaker Markus Niggli recommends you pair it with anything off the grill.
