Edging towards maturity, this shows toast and kerosene aromas, followed by a perfumed, ripe fruit-textured wine, concentrated and intense. With its rich fruit, now heading towards nuttiness, the wine is ready to drink.

This full-bodied wine with its spice and creamed pear fruit flavors, feels rich and smooth. Structured and textured, the balanced acidity shows through well, giving a warm, off-dry aftertaste.

The Savagnin Rosé or Traminer is grown on 240 acres in and around the village of Heiligenstein. Ripe and full-bodied, the wine has some spice along with rich tropical fruit flavors. It fills the mouth, giving a rounded, opulent character.

Showing as much richness as sweetness, this poised wine has fresh fruit acidity combined with dried apricot and spice flavors. It is balanced, delicious now, ready to drink.

A dry Gewürztraminer, more fruity than many, showing intense spice and pepper as well as sultana and pear flavors. It has concentration, a dense texture, and delicious perfumes.

Showing beautifully, with intense lemon and lime fruit and a luxurious texture. The chalky, minerally palate is saved from austerity by a touch of sweetness. A very nice package.

With some wood aging, this is a richer Pinot Noir than some from Alsace. Good color, red berry fruits and an intense juicy line of acidity. Not for aging, but with some weight.

Modest notes of lanolin and nuts up front are followed by a rather thin, off-dry palate. Appealing toasty notes on the finish fade away rather quickly. Drink now.
