Tasting note
Golden yellow hue and thick tears. A discreet bouquet with notes of dried apple slices and cardamom, also whiffs of herbal tea and stone. A full-bodied wine with rich concentration; notes of apple jelly, damson plum, grapefruit and turmeric. Creamy extract sweetness, mild acidity and a velvety texture. Calm and mouthfilling. A pleasantly bitter mineral tone and a long sweet-tart finish. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
