95pts James Suckling | 94pts Vinous
Stainless steel Short maceration on the press, fermented in stainless steel and left on the lees until bottling in the late Summer. This is a south facing site, high elevation site. The consistently high extract from this site is due to the deep roots of the vine, intensity and spiciness of its southern exposure. The soils here are a mix of deep, chlky loess and red gravel – a sort of mix of the two soil types from Rosenberg and Stein. On the nose, yeast blends into the gentle woodland scent of moss, edged with just a little pepper. The palate is rounded, with a heightened sense of pepper on a very airy, smooth, almost ethereal body. Soaring towards the sky, this is fresh and bright, all reaching upwards. At once light-footed and sprightly yet profound, the entire wine is vivid with white pepper.
