You need patience as you plow through some reduction aromas. But then—then! Brilliant, silvery, exotic and mineral; the finish is more an atmosphere than a taste. But if you insist, there’s some yellow fruit, some purple flowers, some cool aloe, and some fine terroir.

"The 2023 Rauenthal Estate opens with clear, bright and ripe fruit with some pink nuances intertwined with terroir-driven depth and also saline nuances. Rich and lush but elegant and refined on the palate, this is a generous yet precise and stimulating fresh and citric Rauenthaler with a persistent texture and flesh and stimulating bite. Substantial without being heavy, this is rather baroque from a coolish terroir. 11% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024."
