"Intensives, leuchtendes Zitronengelb mit goldenem Touch. In der Nase nach Feuerstein, kandierter Zitrone, Pfirsich, leichte Blutorange. Öffnet sich am Gaumen mit tänzelnder Säure, ausgesprochen knackig mit frischer Frucht, spannt sich weit über die Zunge, langanhaltend bis ins leicht salzige Finale. Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler"
