I've been drinking a fair bit of German riesling of late, so I felt it was time to throw in some Alsatian versions to compare. On the nose: dense white peach, sweet apple and honeysuckle with some canteloupe in the mix. On the palate, ok acidity, but excellent density with melon, slight oiliness but maybe a bit nondescript. Very short finish. Good for the density, but our meal (a vegetable stew) perhaos called for more acidity...bad pairing?
