The 2023 Kuentz-Bas Riesling is an example of what me truly fall in love with this entire style of Alsatian wine. A soft hue of chartreuse meets the eye, and does not lie. After a bit of a breathe the nose is lush and grassy in all the right ways. The palate is where it shines, bringing oodles of wet stone, delightfully gum-soaking minerality, and a finish that defines this style of Riesling. This is in the top three when we pair it with anything spicy- particularly creole- but any spice will do.

A golden pear hue on the eyes, this Alsatian blend of Riesling, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Gris, and Gewurtztraminer has a rich, viscous bit of swirl to it which leads to an ample helping of white fruits and limestone on the nose. After a bit of a breath the body gracefully develops and concentrates into a single and soulful note that works all of the wine’s components into an extremely well-balanced expression of all that’s involved. These kinds of white blends from Alsace, to me at least, are a dramatically over-looked treasures that (for the moment) are waiting patiently for those of us thirsty at our local wine shops.
