Showing signs of maturity, this is a ripe, while still steely wine. The acidity cuts through the aromatic pear and apple flavors, while a touch of spice adds complexity. Not for long-term aging.

Spicy, floral aromas announce a dry Pinot Gris, bringing in crisp acidity as well as a richer fruit texture. The fruit is attractive, with pear and mango flavors, finishing with a lift. Screwcap.

Blowsy, lychee aromas, a wine that is ripe, soft, open, with a light touch of acidity. Pepper and sweet spices fit well into this easy profile. Screwcap.

Pear, honey and smoke aromas, with admirable depth. Sweet, tasty apple and honey flavors with hints of rose petal. Ripe and full in the mouth, with a long sweet finish. Quite mature at this point. For immediate pleasure.

Perfumed and rounded, this has fine acidity and a warm, sunny feel. Flavors of apples and pears are cut through with a lime juice note, yielding a balanced wine that will develop quickly.

Crisp, attractive fruit flavors produce a wine that is bright, light, open. There’s a good tang of lemon zest accompanying the acidity that comes from the green fruit flavor. Ready to drink.

Named after Julien Dopff who brought Champagne techniques to Alsace, this is soft, sweet and appley, light and refreshing. There is a final attractive crispness.
