I had the pleasure of sampling this outstanding Riesling from Alsace at a recent wine tasting. The vines from which the grapes for this wine are gathered are over 50 years old and 100% hand-picked.
The nose is pungent with citrus and floral notes. The bold flavors are of peach, pear and nectarine with a super combination of richness and freshness. The long finish offers hints of licorice and a little smokiness.
Just a very enjoyable wine that could benefit from some cellaring.
Pairings: Buttered lobster, bouillabaisse, blue cheese dishes, Thai food.
Style: White
Grape Type(s): Riesling
Region: Alsace, France
Around $40.
