Brilliant medium gold. Stone fruit and minerality on the nose with notes of tropical fruit. Medium bodied with significant amounts of well integrated acid. Long, elegant finish. Low $20s. 12.5 abv. Delightful.

Way too acidic with no distinct taste. Not for me.

Eaten with lemon basil pasta, sweet & spicy chicken sausage, basil, & sweet peppers. Tasted mellow with food. By itself, it was quite acidic and boring.

Very nice for the price. Not too sweet. Paired great with spicy smoked meat.

I've been exploring Alsace wines. This one was a disappointment. Too acidic. No distinct taste.
