Tasting notes

Yellow colour. The nose is very closed at first. Opens up with a couple of hours in the carafe. Shows chalk, sweet bread, flowers and wild strawberries. Fullbodied silvaner in the mouth. Some sweetness, feinherb-style. Fine fruit, chalky, sweet bread. Starting to evolve. Medium concentration. Not the fullest auslese. Fine acidity. The alcohol a little high in the finish. Gives the wine a kind of rustic edge. Still I like the fruit here very much.

Yellow-green colour. Fine nose. Chalky, mineral with hints of green leafs and strawberries. Shows some development. Fullbodied silvaner in the mouth. Light fatness and a touch of residual sugar. Still quite slim and refreshing style. Clear and fine fruit. Chalky and hints of woodland strawberries. Fine acidity and good length. Som alcohol and light bitterness on the finish. Very good.
