This pale yellow wine opens with a bit of mustiness. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is balanced, has pleasant acidity, and mineral flavors with a touch of light lime and sweetness. The finish is dry and lingers nicely as it fades away. The very impressive offering would pair quite well with halibut. Enjoy – Ken Winemaker Notes: The nose is classic Clos Hauserer: lots of minerals, stony aromas, citrus fruits. Still quite closed today (before bottling), but the palate reveals such complexity, that it is easy to forecast a great development. The mouth is characterised with great acidity, certainly responsible for the slightly higher residual sweetness, but just like in 2005, this vineyard almost needs it. The finish is clean and crisp.
