From a five-hectare monopoly located at the top of the Pfingstberg hill with an orchard in the middle of the vines, grapes were planted in 1975 and sit at 380 metres above sea level. Such an intense nose full of strong petrol notes, white flowers and lemon zest - buttery and toasted tones too. Forward, expressive and alive with some wood spice too, shown by the colour also which is a dark yellow gold in the glass. Bright, full and bold, this is aromatic and lively with such a kick of high, citrus acidity alongside bitter edges and some wild honey and petrol tones. A touch of lemon sherbet gives a zing while a lingering salty, minerality provides a savoury counter. The overall texture and wide mouthfeel carries this through to a long finish. Linear, direct and full of tension, this is totally captivating and moreish.
