The 2019 Pinot Blanc is fresh and very quaffable. The 2019 Sylvaner is very crisp and lively in the mouth. The 2019 Kerner has a nose shaped by predominantly pepper notes and citrus aroma. The 2019 Sauvignon has a fragrance reminiscent of blossom and exotic fruit. The 2018 Zweigelt is very structured on the palate. The 2018 Pinot Noir displays a fine balance between fresh notes and overripe fruit.
