Tamlyn Currin, Wine Writer for Jancis Robinson awarded this wine a highly impressive 18.5 out of 20 points. Tamlyn describes this wine as; "From 55 years old vines in the steep, south-facing slope on phorphyr rock. Whole-cluster pressing, fermented in a small stainless-steel tank, 60% spontaneous fermentation, bottled in May 2021. This is the first year Aldinger have been able to make this wine since 2016. Strikingly long and elegant. So exquisite it's hard to describe. Iris perfume. Guava nectar. Blueberries. Green figs when their sticky nectar is like wild honey. Sometimes words won't do."
