Alsace, France
WOW..... Amazing for the price and in my humble opinion following the grand cru just as good

Medium Lemon, big nose.
Just opened I get floral notes with some lemon skin and minerals.
Then tropical fruits kick in. Amazingly.
Pineapple breathing its crown. Unripe first, as it warms up ripe fruit takes over leaving some room for lychee and rich aroma of mango. Stone fruits seem to be left behind in the ageing.
Fairly bold and perfectly balanced sweetness. I don't detect acidity.
More minerals and wet stones as you taste it. A bit of spice. The tropical tones are less sumptuous when swallowing.
This wine from Alsace, at the border with Germany and 400 km from South Tyrol, nevertheless, its structure and character take me instantly to Hawaii.
How this would be achievable if not by traveling a wine's soul?
