A crisp, savoury Sylvaner from the Darling (Schatz in German) vineyard in the upper reaches of the King Valley. Dry and refreshing, with delicate floral aromatics that build, savoury white herbs, textural grapefruit pithy phenolics from brief skin contact, and lingering acidity. A combination of stainless and old oak fermentation. Most have never heard of the variety, but so many re-order it once they’ve tried it!

"My preciousss! Sylvaner, who would have thought? The bouquet is pretty, floral, with gentle sweet and creamy tones, bitter herbs. And that’s great, but the texture is queen here, detailed and complex, fine chalk-like, talcum powder with bitter-sweet fruit skins, salt flakes and a savoury-spicy finish. It becomes chewy yet stays smooth and covers the back palate with phenolics carrying the flavours long. It reminds a tonic water or a white vermouth. Just an aromatised bitter white wine with a dazzling texture. So very delicious, so precious.” Awarded 94 points by Kasia Sobiesiak, for The Wine Front.
