Wet stone and chalk are framed in a floral, fresh aura from the first whiff onwards, reflecting the stony poor soils which here are a mix of both red sandstone and fossil limestone - while the immediate clarity and freshness reflect the altitude of up to 300m. The Silvaner savouriness is on full display on the mid-palate, tender, delicate but pervasive. There are hints of yarrow and salt, crushed thyme and a gloriously fresh hint of fern. A concentrated core has tautness, structure, verve and ripe freshness. An exemplary wine of its kind.
