Drinkable now, but better from 2023.

Super rich and creamy, this has an almost liqueur-like quality, but combined with wonderful yellow-rose and rose-water aromas. Very polished and refined for this grape, which so easily tends to heat and bitterness. Very long, silky and delicate finish, in spite of 15% alcohol. I really don’t know how they did that! Drink or hold.

Very dense blackberry and forest-berry nose, but somehow it manages to be delicate too, black-tea and licorice notes developing with aeration.

In spite of the ripeness of this generous gewurztraminer, the yellow-rose and fruit aromas (apricot to lychee) are so very precise. Just a touch of curry leaves.

 A graceful chardonnay, whose clarity and originality make it stand out from the crowded Alto Adige and global fields of ambitious wines made from this grape.

An effusively aromatic and expressive sauvignon blanc with notes of nettles, fresh mint and chamomile and wonderful raciness that accentuates all of this on the sleek, energetic palate. The ripeness is nicely underplayed, in a way that gives this enormously refreshing vibrancy. Very long, crisp, mineral finish. Drink or hold.
