On point Alacatian dry, white riesling. Rounded, balanced, apricot and lychee fruit. The nose hints of its origin. Light minerality. Rare find in Florida.

Pale lemon Crystal clear. Aromas of Citrus/Lemon. Simple and refreshing with a trace of sweetness but finishes Dry. Very Pure. From half bottle. Tasted another half bottle on 18th February 2018. Notes as above but now picking up a hint of oyster shell.

Delicious Alsace Riesling. The nose hints at tropical fruits (fresh pineapple and papaya), with a core of ripe citrus - flesh, pith and pip - as well as something that calls to mind sandstone. The palate is dry, light to medium bodied and intensely fresh, fruity and even, leading into a long, mouthwatering finish of preserved lemon and grapefruit pith.

Gold in color, some of that river rock/graphite/slate stuff going on that is typical of Alsatian whites. Went great with simply prepared salmon and asparagus that brought out some of the sweeter notes.
