Organic and biodynamic viticulture. A blend of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, briefly macerated and partially fermented on the skins and aged for nine months in neutral wood, bottled unfined and unfiltered and without addition of sulphite. Medium lemon yellow colour with a golden sheen. Slightly funky but in a clean way, fresh and bright, minerally and yeasty, light body (11.5% ABV), white pepper, green apple, stone fruit, grapefruit bitters, herbal finish with good resonance and length. Needs some time in …

Classic "natural" wine taste on full display here. This is really a tale of two wines. Had it over the course of three different nights. First night was how I imagine a natural Alsatian wine would taste. Stony, flinty, funky, white flowers, pepper and stone fruit. A little linear and sharp.

Pale lemon green in the glass. Aromas of yellow apple, green apple, citrus fruit. That's pretty much it. Palate once again tastes diluted and way too simple to justify this price range. Another overpriced, overhyped edition to the natural wine scene.

Very light. Over priced but nice marketing. Would not buy again.
