Variety: 40% Riesling, 20% Pinot Blanc, 20% Muscat, 10% Gewurztraminer, 10% Pinot Gris
Region: Alsace
Country: France

Winery Review: A delicious and fresh blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. Light aromas of fresh fruit and delicate white flowers start your journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity on the dry finish ends this French blend beautifully.

My Review: This wine had a very strong fruit smell. Immediately, even before swirling, the smell was already present. Surprisingly, despite the pungent aroma, the taste was very light with a definite dry finish. This wine was drier than I would have liked from a white wine.

I did not have this wine with food.
