pale gold; a lot of Riesling character on the nose; very mineral on the palate, racy acidity, 13.5 % ABV; field blend of 35% Riesling, 33% Pinot Blanc, 18% Pinot Gris, and 14% Gewürtztraminer in an Alsatian style, named after Abraxas God of the 365 heavens; consumed out of 1.5L bottle, still quite fresh

Really nice blend, well rounded, almost a touch of butterscotch in it, along with tropical fruit accents.

You can definitely smell the Riesling's influence at 35% and the Pinot blanc at 33% seems to do the job of sliming it out and giving it some vibrancy - then the Pinot gris and gerwurztraminer give it a bit of elegance. Interesting and delicious white.
