  Deep gold color, decent acid, and an unctuous blend of aromatic, slightly off-dry goodness. I thinkits mostly Riesling, pinot gris, and pinot blanc, but there might be some Gewurztraminer in there too. Very versatile. Tastes even better when a hint of spice tempers the sweetness and you get some of the more savory aspects of this wine.

  The bouquet shows a lot of sweetness. On the palate a sweet start. The sweetness remains, ripe fruits of all sorts, some minerals and bitterness in the finish.

  Very interesting blend of many varietals. I'm not really sure what to use this wine for. It's very sweet and has a similar profile to a dessert wine and yet a lot less bold. It's basically like crossing a Riesling with a sauternes. It's a very good quality wine with a lot going on but seems like a little too sweet for dinner but not potent enough to do as an after dinner wine. I was told by someone who loves Alsace wines that the sweetness should calm down with more age
