This wine captures you. Familiar and mystic, savage, yet makes you feel calm. The scent grabs you immediately and the body more than is attractive as well. Moves in a tempting way, invites you to dance. You let it take the lead, because you know that it takes you back in time… A Riesling of spontaneity. Hot tropical fruits, cooling citrus sorbet, chamomile and a touch of saltiness. “But it’s just a wine” – you might say. No! It is 1976.
