Production Details The reviewed 2011 release was a 0.375 L bottle. Its tasting note reports an acidity figure of 14.0 but supplies neither a unit nor an analytical basis, so it cannot be normalized as total acidity. The Bockenauer Felseneck site is described at 220–300 m elevation on a 35–60% gradient.
Tasting Notes Papaya, orange, mirabelle, star fruit and meadow hay; dense, syrup-like concentration with subtle salinity, honey, caramel, concealed acidity and mineral character.
