Labels
The 2016 label theme is traveling in Indochina. Here the monkey is keen to split his banana with the gods
Weather
In summer 2016, the maximum temperature were slightly over 30 degree only in few occasions, and the vines were not stressed by the heat. There were just enough rain showers to avoid the vines being stressed from drought.
For late harvesters, October 2016 was a real mess with cold weather and much rain. Consequently, the sugar growth in Riesling was moderate and the acidity got high and was preserved all the way to harvest in October

Color |
Light to medium yellow |

Smell |
Developing slowly, not still fully open, a bit grassy, delicate and firm, a wine of its own personality. |

For people with cold vintage preference, grass and hey, grapefruit and lime, with a hint of petrol and a lot of dried fruit. Long stylish and a bit grassy after taste. |

Still a bit raw and unpolished, but with remarkable potential. Some salty fruit with elegance and firmness. |

Vigorous and powerful, like 2015 Dry honey but with a classic character, typical Sandahl stuff. Judgment: Need a couple of years to soften and |

Judgment |
Need a couple of years to soften and integrate, one of our best wines ever. |
