This Dürkheimer Spielberg Trocken opens with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach layered with floral and mineral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with crisp citrus and orchard fruit flavors supported by bright acidity. A pronounced mineral backbone gives the wine tension and structure. Subtle hints of stone fruit and herbs add complexity. The finish is dry, long, and precise with lingering minerality.
