Tasting Notes

Palate

Full-bodied and richly textured with low acidity, opulent stone-fruit weight, and a characteristic oily, almost glycerol-like mouthfeel balanced by the Zinnkoepfle's limestone and sandstone minerality.

Finish

Long and warming finish with lingering notes of exotic spice, dried rose, and a subtle smoky mineral quality that persists well after the wine leaves the palate.
