Reviews and Ratings

Julia Kelada rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Honestly I have only started liking white wine over the last five years, I know... shocker! But this wine to me shows the epitomy of a crow pleaser that enters a room with class. Turkey is on its way and to be honest I couldn't think of a better wine to have with the good old tradition than this wonderful Alsace.
On the nose there is a delicate balance of its presentation, fruits, acidity. It delivers a fresh perfume with white fruits, green notes and citrus.
On the palate there is a touch of sweetness and a great deliverance of minerality creating balance and harmony to this wine, no jagged edges! Citrus notes of orange and lemon are present and then more tropical notes of pineapple and kiwi.
Also a perfect pairing with gazpacho soup, shrimp dishes and octopus and for dessert creme brûlée. Yum!
