A little dryer than what I normally drink but refreshing for summer

Aug 27th, 2016An instant no-brainer as to how this wine won "Best of Class" for dry white wine in the 2016, but for myself and the rest of the cork-dorks, the amazing part of this wine winning Best in Class is that the grape is a lesser-known but equally formidable Alsatian grape called "Auxerrois". Peaches and pears galore on the nose, with a vibrant acidity bearing star-fruit, gooseberry, and even some pineapple on the palate, along with the peaches and pears. Don't be fooled by the label, this isn't wine made in some guy's garage, as the look of Fontaine's label may suggest, it's the real deal. This unoaked wine will leave you desperate for more as you try to unravel it, layer by layer.
