2023 Beckstein Kirchberg Silvaner trocken 'Steiles Kleeb Kreuz', Baden, Germany

Clear, relatively fine, vegetal and delicately nutty, youthful pomaceous fruit nose with floral traces. Quite juicy fruit with clear vegetal flavours, a little white-peppery spice and yeasty notes, very fine, lively acidity and delicate carbonic acid, persistent on the palate, quite clear, stony minerality, also chalky notes, a hint of smoke, still rather undeveloped, a hint of citrus zest in the background, warm and cool elements, good to very good finish.
