Eminence Sylvaner
Alsace, France
Rain on the sidewalk, Asian pear, white peach. A little off dry with lots of body, but lacking a little acid. Better with food.

This Sylvaner is grown in the Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru (but is called “Eminence” because Sylvaner is not an Alsatian noble grape), fat and ripe, but shows underlying minerality and acidity, really just a lovely drink!!

Der Eminence hat das Gewicht und die aromatische Komplexität eines Grand Crus, aber den Preis eines Mittelklasse-Weins ... Bürokratie hat also auch seine Vorteile!
