Tasted blind. Herbal purity and delicacy on the nose, the spontaneous-fermentation effect much less evident than on the Morstein. Underneath the slight smoky note is citrus and clementine. Tight, pure and zesty citrus on the palate, mouth-watering grapefruit, sour-citrus purity and still that delicate herbal character of Kirchspiel. Clean-cut, so dry, tight. More intense than in some vintages but still has the delicacy that is typical of this vineyard. Pure limey citrus on the long, long finish.
All in tank. Very little topsoil – 20 cm – over limestone. Tank sample.
