Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Lynn Van Der Linde rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

this beautifully crisp white wine is a great way to start the evening or to enjoy on a sunny patio! Marcel Deiss is one of these "perfectionist" winemakers, where he takes organic winemaking to crazy levels by growing his grapes "biodynamically" - absolutely *no* chemicals are used, he takes extra special care of his soils, maintains the vineyards by the lunar calendar, introduces only natural predators for vine maintainance... AND manages to make a surprisingly complex and delicious wine for the price point! Marcel Deiss has been called "soil obsessed", believing that the terroir is the single greatest factor affecting the grapes and resulting wine, and as a result has made this wine with a blend of "signature" grapes from Alsace earth: Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Beurot, and Pinot Noir. Give a it a try - you'll be amazed!
