The Steinertal character announces itself immediately, Szechuan pepper, smoked almond and a lift of muskmelon on the nose, with papaya and ripe apple adding tropical depth. On the palate, that fruit opens up generously, yet a cooling thread of green herb keeps everything grounded and honest. The finish is long, gently peppery, and satisfying without ever feeling heavy. Drinking well now.
