Bold structure frames spicy yellow fruits and dense minerality. Complex and enjoyable but could use some time to temper the acidity.

Lemon, citrus, pepper. Notable evolution from aroma to finish, which is quite crisp and dry, with some serious mineral notes.

Rarely do you find a gruner with this kind of balance. Vibrant and expressive from the start - Fresh cut lemon, pickle brine, smashed white pepper and minerality that doesn't quit. The acid is persistent and unrelenting, making for a beautiful finish that refuses to let go.
