Starts out fresh and crisp, but botrytis notes of chamomile and ginger start to creep in. This wine is messing with my mind. So many complexities. Intense and lightly fragrant but rich and captivating.

What a great value. It's has ripe citrus, ginger, spice, and petroleum in the nose. It's everything I want in an Alsatian Riesling.

Broad feel, Botrytis and all its friends. Oily, sweet. Not snappy.

Zind-Humbrecht has been producing wine since the 15th century, no surprise, they've perfected the art of coaxing the best out of Alsatian Riesling. Pale straw and limpid, with delicate notes of pink grapefruit, white flowers and wet gravel and a faint, ascending note of kerosene. It's medium-bodied and rounder than one might expect, nevertheless, the impression is one of dryness (despite 5g/l residual sugar) and pithy tartness, orange rind and shale. 12.5% ABV Sample

Dried apricot, orange zest, elderflower, traces of petrol on the nose. Hints of toffee. Lively acidity for a 5-year old Riesling. Crisp finish. Wonderfully refreshing and perfect to sip on an island.
