Sensory Description:

Striking from the first pour, this wine opens with bold aromas of freshly cut grass, white peach, lime zest, and blackcurrant. Layers of spice, almost oriental in character, unfold with hints of vanilla bean and fresh herbs. The palate is sleek and focused, driven by vivid acidity that lends enormous freshness and energy. Juicy citrus and a touch of grated grapefruit peel build into a clean, bright finish that feels electric and precise. Elegant yet expressive, this is a Scheurebe with serious dimension and polish.

Awards & Accolades:

• James Suckling (2023): 91/100 – “This smells like freshly sliced white peaches and freshly picked blackcurrants… excellent balance of fruit and acidity… very clean and bright finish.”
