Honeydew and kiwi are mingled with pineapple and lime for an impression at once tropically ripe yet tangy and bright. The feel is flatteringly satiny. Suggestions of quince jelly and an unexpected hint of caramel emerge on a finish that is otherwise lusciously rich yet animatingly juicy and features an active sense of stony mineral impingement as well as mouthwatering salinity.

A unique Spätlese, full of fresh herbs and even a touch of mowed lawn. Reductive, flinty and very subtle, this has a laser-sharp attack of acidity that takes the mouth aback, but it’s only medium-bodied and has a soft sensation of sweetness on the finish.
