*****96 points “Spy Valley has always offered good wines at great prices. Now it has introduced a flagship label where quality and price have
been cranked up a few notches. This offers a tantalising mix of luscious sweet fruit flavours and mouth-watering acidity. A true German style wine
without any obvious botrytis influence, it sits somewhere between spatlese and auslese level while boosting a low 9 per cent alcohol. A very impressive
wine that offers terrific value, great fruit purity and real energy.”
