CRITIC RATINGS

"A staggering gruner veltliner that breaks the mold of the 2020 vintage! Stunning exotic-fruit, chamomile and spice aromas envelop you. Great concentration and every bit as much mineral brilliance make this a breathtaking wine. Drink or hold" (James Suckling)
97 James Suckling

"Good complexity, juicy, taut, pleasant expressive notes of papaya and mango, crisp acidity, lingers well, great future potential. Already very drinkable." (Peter Moser)
