It's fresh, elegant, medium-bodied, stimulatingly savory, and round with great purity. James Suckling rated it 93 points, highlighting its elegance and chalky minerality. Wine Spectator noted its dry, succulent character with notes of lemon, white blossoms, and chamomile, underlined by a salty mineral vein. 【Biodynamically grown with Respekt certification】.
