2021 Schweigen Sonnenberg Weißburgunder Grosses Gewächs, Pfalz, Germany

Relatively cool, fine-vegetal and delicately smoky nose with polished, bright yellow-fruity tones, almonds and almond blossom. Fine, cool and precise in the mouth, quite noble, bright fruit with yeasty, a little planty and hinted floral notes, persistent, mineral in the background, very fine acidity and delicate grip, elegant style, certain depth, hints of smoke and blanched almonds, also pumpkin seeds, still young but already animating, very good, fine-juicy finish with very fine, again hinted smoky spice.
