Community Tasting Notes 1

  June 28, 2022 - Bought and consumed in Strasbourg. This is so creamy (i.e. custard, toasted coconut, almond milk) compared to other Alsatian Rieslings and I think that is a sign of higher quality. It’s so soft and warm (hints of cinnamon) rather than bitter and bracing. Lots of salty minerality—I want to guess Limestone (but after looking at the website, I see that it’s limestone, marl, and sandstone with mostly sandstone) and lemon acidity. Apple fruit rather than peach fruit, but there’s a hint of pineapple on the finish. Super attractive floral notes, like the local geraniums that I see everywhere, along with Roses. In fact, the sweet-like floral qualities, which get stronger as it warms up and gets more air, are the standout feature for this wine, along with the creaminess. Reminds me of Apple cider, as it has an earthy way about it. Or, think warm apple pie. Biodynamic. Great, match with pate and Alsatian cheeses. Creamy, salty, and floral—it’s hard to go wrong (I paid $70 and it was worth it). Good representation of the region.
