Juicy pineapple, ripe passion fruit and nuances of lime zest come to the fore vividly.

A discreet, stony minerality recalls the sandstone soils of the Radebeul sites and lends the aroma depth and contour. On the palate, Berg&Lust Weißburgunder - Weingut Hoflößnitz is dry, precise and at the same time creamy in mouthfeel.

On the mid-palate, subtle nutty tones emerge, reminiscent of fresh walnut and slivers of almond. In addition, a fine herbal spice appears with hints of lemon balm and a touch of mint.
