Light wood aging gives this wine a very smooth character. It’s acidity and varietal character are subsumed into an almost Chardonnay richness and weight. The balance and the ripe flavors are impressive, while the final taste does bring out the pepper character of the grape.

Old vines—in this case with an average age of 50 years—give an extra concentration to this impressively rich wine. It is full of beautifully ripe apple and apricot fruit flavor, with a great zing of acidity. Age for a year. Screwcap.

An apple-oriented wine, with a concentrated extra core. There is an earthy edge here, packed with acidity, offering some classic Grüner spice, while keeping the wine rich. Screwcap.

Tight, mineral wine, with apple and spice flavors. There is some weight as well as clean green fruits. There is an attractive fresh feel here, very drinkable now, best with food. Screwcap.

A very citrusy wine, all lemon juice and pink grapefruit. It is totally refreshing, crisp, as light as a feather, but with a tight tangy complexity to give extra interest. Screwcap.
