I do like this wine a lot. I have never had this variety before, it should be the cross between Riesling and Sylvaner, which was not confirmed by DNA (the Sylvaner part). It is somehow Sauvignon on the nose and Riesling in the taste, but very fresh and pure and so much drinkable that almost half bottle was finished in 15 minutes:-)
