Tasting notes
Pineapple, cassis and pink grapefruit are laced with mint in a colorful and exuberant aromatic display. Tang of pineapple core, zest of grapefruit and nips of cress invigorate on a delicate but glossy palate, while cooling mint and luscious juiciness of citrus serve as foils for the aforementioned tactilely intense elements. The lovely alliance of richness and brightness carries into a vibrantly sustained finish that refreshes as Auslesen seldom do.

It\'s really hard to say if this could be more precise or brilliant. A wonderful fresh-cut pineapple character with salty minerality, which is very unusual for this category. Yes, it has some sweetness, but it makes you want to drink this with some Sichuan chicken! Drink or hold. Very limited production due to the frost damage.
