WHAT'S GOOD?
Son of Wiltrude and Joschuari, brother of Theodora
Crunchy, mineral, and invigorating - Affectionate and easy-going
Has the purity and tension of an old-world classic with red fruits, fresh flowers, a hint of smoldering earth, and smoke
Bright and clean finish, like an attractive young man but in no way superficial
