Production Details The sources disagree on maturation: Falstaff reports four months in a stainless-steel tank, whereas CB-Weinhandel reports maturation in a large wooden cask. CB-Weinhandel recommends serving at 8–10 °C, and its reproduced May 2024 Vinous note reports vines 30–40 years old.

Tasting Notes Peter Moser, tasting dated 24 June 2024: light green-yellow with silver reflections; fresh vineyard peach, dark minerality, lime and white flowers; taut, tightly woven and bright-fruited, with fine acidity and a citrus-saline, long finish.
