Tasting Notes
- Goedhuis, October 2011
- A delicious wine that is beautifully aromatic yet notably elegant with notes of orchard fruit and pain d'épices. Finishes dry and mineral. Very Alsacian with lots of charm.
Alsace
On the Eastern border of France lying between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine river, this much-disputed area has for a large part of its existence been in the hands of Germany. This is visually apparent in the half-timbered houses lining the streets in medieval-looking villages and vinously evident in the prevalence of white wine in the region. Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat make up the majority of plantings and are the only varieties permitted in the Alsace Grand Cru appellation. Pinot Noir (the only significant black grape variety), Pinot Blanc, Chasselas and Sylvaner also get a look in. Wines are made in all styles from sparkling and dry to the most unctuously sweet botrytised pudding wines.

Pinot Blanc
Of Burgundian origin, and still permitted in Bourgogne Blanc, Pinot Blanc is grown more widely in Alsace, Germany and Austria. A versatile grape, the wines produced range from rather neutral dry wines, through more serious age-worthy almond-scented whites to luscious botrytised sweet wines.
