Grossheppacher Steingrüble Chardonnay 2019
Nice expressive nose full of ripe yellow exotic fruit with underripe pineapple, ripe lemons, yellow pears with some very decent woody character noticeable and a hint of toasted sesame reduction.
Quite round & elegant and very inviting.
The wow happens after the first sip.
Wonderful flow on the palate with juicy acidity. So precise with a cool mineral core and the fruit filling the background. This has depth, energy & focus and just a hint of tannin edginess. Pure yet not puristic.
This is absolutely delightful! Clearly not Burgundy and yet this is one of the very best Chardonnay’s I’ve had in quite some time. What a find!! — 4 years ago

A golden pear hue on the eyes, this Alsatian blend of Riesling, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Gris, and Gewurtztraminer has a rich, viscous bit of swirl to it which leads to an ample helping of white fruits and limestone on the nose. After a bit of a breath the body gracefully develops and concentrates into a single and soulful note that works all of the wine’s components into an extremely well-balanced expression of all that’s involved. These kinds of white blends from Alsace, to me at least, are a dramatically over-looked treasures that (for the moment) are waiting patiently for those of us thirsty at our local wine shops. — 2 months ago

Outstanding Alsatian Pinot Noir, from vineyards in Wettolsheim, next to Colmar. Precise nose with notes of red fruit, smoke, minerals. Fresh, lively, good acidity — 3 years ago

Truncated family party notes. Very fresh for a ‘17. Balance of fresh fruit and light minerality. Light and fun. — 3 years ago

Demi-sec with enough acid balance to carry the weight. Sumptuous flavours of roses, lychee, candied peel and overripe peaches. — 3 years ago
