This wine has a pure and youthful colour, brimming with life and a wonderful silvery crystalline sheen over a nice fresh bright yellow and the pale greens of pistachio, lime tree with some hints of pale yellow in its smooth legs.

The bouquet is young, daring and filled with a wonderfully pure juvenile, spontaneous and aromatic expression, it is full-fruited with subtle hints of Muscat, elderflower, white peach, lemon balm, grapefruit, lime, hawthorn, spring jasmine, lime tree cherry and pear blossom. The bouquet is deliciously aromatic and dashing.

On the palate this is a bright, vigorous dry wine with a wonderful sense of refinement and elegance, it has a lively tactile freshness which explodes inside the mouth with pleasant, precise, frank and balanced flavours. – Importer Note

A very fresh dry white with yellow apple, lemon, fresh garden herb and snowpea aromas. Crisp and structured with a nice interplay of lively acidity and creaminess. Long, delicately spicy and herbal finish that’s very clean. A cuvee of 32% gewurztraminer, 25% pinot gris, 15% riesling, 15% pinot blanc, 10% sylvaner and 3% muscat. Drink or hold.

Pale yellow with the green highlights of lime tree foliage and primrose and that wonderful sparkle and crystalline youthful and alert sheen. The bouquet is youthful and refreshing, spontaneously expressing an agreeable aroma of green apple, pear, lychee, passionfruit, rose and the lightest touch of muscat. On the palate, it has a pleasant dryness, smooth, soft and harmonious with the most elegant finish. 91 points Stuart Pigott, James Suckling  Apr 2023
