2019 - 2030
An exhilarating aroma of fresh green fruit and sappy herbs titillates the olfactory receptacles. Truly racy on the palate with crisp apple flavour, vibrant acidity and cool salty minerality. Very pure and with great energy. A kind of English rose vintage, modesty becomes her

Tank sample. 40% of the harvest they achieved in 2016. 28-year-old vines, 25 hl/ha, RS 3 g/l. Fruit from Kirchspiel (only lightly hailed so a bigger proportion than usual – 65% – though this may change when the final wines are blended), Hubacker, AbtsE, Morstein. The sites are fermented separately so they blend later. Westhofen sites have a real herbal character this year, notes Keller.

Bright in citrus but also a stony mineral aroma. Chalky citrus intensity on the palate, almost chewy. Precise and pure and really stunning for Von der Fels. The most intense vintage I have tasted. Has some wild herbal notes on the mid palate and on the nose as it opens up, as Klaus Peter had suggested. On the palate, there’s orange and orange pith and such concentration and persistence. Likely to be GV.
