James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Very charming nose of fresh lemon peel, yellow grapefruit, white pepper and tarragon. A very elegant, medium-bodied gruner veltliner with a silky texture and lively acidity. I love the tingling minerality at the long, clean finish. Drink or hold." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"A wine of remarkable depth and personality, offering an intriguing blend of intensity and refinement. On the nose, the flinty aromas captivate, leading the way to a rich, full-bodied palate that engages with substantial mineral depth. It's an assertive Grüner that manages to maintain its character even while offering an opulent mouthfeel."
