Description/ Tasting Notes
Expressive nose with aromas of vanilla, spices, toasted coffee, black cherries and bay leaves. Dense and well-structured, with lovely acidity which brings a freshness and pep. Ample and complex wine with ripe and pronounced tannins. The finish is beautiful and expressive with a nice touch of sweet spices.Winery Info/ Brand

Region Info/ Origin
Alsace is a northeastern French region on the Rhine River plain. Bordering Germany and Switzerland, it has alternated between German and French control over the centuries and reflected a mix of the two cultures. Its capital, Strasbourg, is centred on the Ill River's Grand Ïle island, bordered by canals and home to the Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, with its animated astronomical clock.
