Malterdinger, Weiss, 2018

Holy smokes this is good. Lightly smoky reductive notes frames zesty lime, yuzu and lemongrass on the nose. Electric and ripe, with beautifully integrated oak and crisp fruit - Julian Huber has found a formula for taut Burgundy-inspired white that is neither too lean nor overly reliant on reduction. As a pairing for blackened sweet miso salmon and pickled veg and it is impeccable but it would work just as well with Ceviche or a remoulade. A great balancing act and offering an immense amount of value for anyone with a taste for the wines produced by Roulot, Ente et al...a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 3o% Grand Cru Weissburgunder.
