Touch of sweetness reminiscent of something Alsatian - a great wine for sipping and aperitivo alike. Pears and honey with a good hit of acidity.

A big white with oak notes and a bit tannic. Quince and lime. A Robert Parker fav. Not a fan.

Smells like unripened honeydew. Grassy. Hints of minerals. Love it.

Somewhat typical modern white wine. Fruity yeast aromas and plenty of ripeness

Nose reminiscent of Alsatian Riesling. Petrol, orange peel.
Stoney acidity.
Cheese, please!
