Awards/Ratings
Highly rated by retailers and consumer platforms (Delectable user scores ~9. 2–9. 4); no single major international trophy listed for the 2021 bottling

Tasting Note
Golden-hued, intensely aromatic: mango, pineapple, lychee, candied citrus and orange blossom with honeyed notes; razor-sharp acidity balances rich residual sugar, saline minerality and a very long, refined finish.

Food Pairing
Western: blue cheese (Roquefort), crème brûlée, fruit tarts, foie gras. Asian: Thai mango sticky rice, mildly spicy green curry, Szechuan‑style dishes (to contrast spice with sweetness), sweet soy glazed duck.

Production Method
Hand-harvested, selection for Auslese ripeness; often botrytised; fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve primary aromatics; bottled usually in 375ml format.
