Pale lemon with pronounced stone fruit and citrus aromas with floral blossoms, slight petrol notes. On the palate flavors of apricot, peach, pear and lime citrus with vivid acidity, minerality and spice. Medium+ finish ending dry with fresh fruit, floral and mineral notes.

Lots of tasty terpenes and just a hint if TDN, nice acid

Afternoon sipping #alsaceriesling on vacation. Isn’t life grand? Pear and green apple, some petrol notes, green onion on the nose. Medium acidity, apple and pear on palate - begging for sushi, mild Asian food or even off-spicy Indian food pairings, yet perfectly at ease sipping solo. ~$17 at Total Wine with discounts: decent QPR for the sensory experience.

Light, dry, green. Citrus zest and wet stones. We like it better as it warms to room temp, but we've had better rieslings. Not bad, but not remarkable.
Loved the pinot blanc from Albrecht.

Straw glint in the glass.

Granite, limestone quarry. Slightly unctuous cheddar like bouquet. Also pine and lemongrass.

Mm minute bubbles, which is welcome. Good balance. Surprisingly cola-like undertones play off of green chartreuse herbaceous qualities, stone fruit, and pine needles.

Pleasant and slightly flirtatious.

A dry, clear white wine that lends to easy drinking. It wonderfully coats the mouth after a sip, which I’ve never experienced with a white wine.
