Lovely full bodied white. Beautiful oiley texture, notes of beeswax, marhsmallow, apple, nuts, and maybe a touch buttery and a bit of white flowers. — 6 years ago

Bruised apple and minerals on the nose are joined by notes of honey and herbs on the palate. A lovely expressive wine with good acidity, extreme enjoyable, and a fine representation of Arvois Savagnin. — 6 years ago

Intriguing nose of earth, herbs, and medicinal cherry. Light and easy on the palate relative to the nose. Balanced and tasty. Opened up nicely and developed a hint of black pepper. — 6 years ago

8.7

Mild nose, light fruit and earth notes. Also very light on the palate. Subtle bramble berry notes with a slight earthy undertone. Mouth watering, but not overly aggressive acidity. A very tasty wine, but more subtle than I expected from Tschida. — 6 years ago

9.4

The nose is subtle but lovely with hints of strawberry, grapefruit, gravel, and eucalyptus. The same notes found in the nose continue to the palate, followed by a nice saline finish. Really a beautifully understated wine. — 6 years ago

Robust and rich nose of freshly tilled earth and cured meat, slightly smoky. High acidity. Somewhat soft but abundant tannins that have clearly mellowed a bit over time. Nice minerality. Overall a delicious wine that is great alone, but would likely be a superb steak paring as well. — 6 years ago

9.2

Composed and delicious. Notes of cola and herbs on the nose. Same on the palate with a bit of mineral and a touch of chocolate perhaps.
A very enjoyable wine overall.
