White peach, lime blossom, and a streak of citrus pith lead into something deeply stony, the Ölberg's signature minerality runs through this from start to finish with quiet authority. Taut and compressed right now, the acidity holds everything in check, but there's real concentration underneath. That long, mineral-anchored finish hints at how much more this will give with time. Best from 2020–2023 onward, with the structure to reward a full decade of patience.
