Description/ Tasting Notes
Extraordinary depth, dominated by ripe yellow fruit, dried apricot and nectarine. It evolves to reveal a mineral character, of marl-limestone soil, some smoky and iodized notes. Well structured, rich, deep and underpinned by a taut, saline backbone. Full and voluptuous initially, then gives way to a more direct and tense structure. The presence, body and volume that this wine presents on the palate are nothing short of incredible.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.
