Crustacés Alsace Silvaner Blend

Pretty yummy little sylvaner/Pinot Blanc blend.. nice honeyed notes on the nose with some papaya, candle wax/beeswax, fun palate.. slight creaminess, refreshing citrus. Minerals on the finish. Tasty little wine.

Feb 26th, 2024I bought this wine for cooking mussels (couldn’t help myself given the label artwork), and we ended up very pleasantly surprised at how well it drinks. Paired wonderfully with the buttery mussels. Bright acidity and sea-reminiscent minerals balance white peach, nectarine, and lemon zest flavors. A bit more body than expected. Good stuff.

Another excellent vintage of this nice little Alsatian White Blend. (90% Silvaner/10% Pinot Blanc). Hint of white flowers and ripe yellow apples on the nose. Fresh tropical fruit flavors and peppery spice on the pallet. A bit of a creamy texture. A hint of fizz which makes this wine very refreshing. Great QPR- even with a tariff on French wines.

Aug 2nd, 2020Outstanding quality for the price! ($12.00). Sylvaner/Pinot Blanc 80/20 Blend. Aromas and flavors of lychee fruit, lemon zest and pears. Faint white flowers on the nose. Great minerality and crisp acidity. Really terrific with food. Liking this Alsatian producer!
