"A light yet precise wine full of savoriness. Aromas of wet wool, ferns, white pepper and lemon peel. yet it's more restrained than fruity. A light body with long, refreshing acidity and a salty finish. Drink now."

"Notes of white flower and candied citrus, with a waxy texture underscored by a cleansing mineral core and sprightly acidity."

"An intense, precise and decisive sylvaner with excellent depth of ashy minerals, chalk, lime, camphor and spices. Concentrated and saline on the palate with a tangy minerality that is akin to crushed oyster shells. Mealy and long at the end. Serious and delicious now."

"The 2021 Sylvaner R captivates, at first nuanced and understated, yet gains in volume and depth. Cardamom, stone dust and dried flowers complicate depths of crushed apricot and nectarine aromas. It washes across the palate with silky, nearly-oily textures. A stimulating, acidic core perfectly offsets a wave of mineral-tinged stone fruits and sweet spices. The 2021 resonates with salty tension, puckering the cheeks in its youthful state as lemon zest and green apple nuances fade. The 2021 is exciting to taste, but it's even more exciting to fantasize about what's to come with more bottle age. Brilliant."

"The 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Sylvaner R has a reductive initial approach with ripe peach, canned fruit and lots of pear that comes in strong waves at different points. Fruit is selected from 30-year-old vines, and with time in the glass, the wine reveals sweet almond paste, hydrocarbons and ripe pineapple. Some 4,000 bottles were made."
