A huge Riesling, smothered with powerful, pure white fruits and delicious flavors of toast. It is rich and opulent, with good acidity and a great, intense, long-lasting aftertaste. It comes from a vineyard that is dry even for Alsace, in the shadow of the 2,700 foot Undersberg. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

A fine, smooth wine, packed with mineral character and power. It also has fine acicity, but that’s hard to find under the richness of the fruit. A fresh citric character gives a fine lift to the aftertaste.

A smooth, opulent Riesling, from a vineyard whose name literally means “hot mountain”. It is hugely ripe, but still has some fine mineral character. The acidity is a little more in question; this could well be a wine that develops relatively quickly. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

As its name indicates, “barriques” (barrels), this is that rare Pinot Blanc that is aged in wood. There’s a mere hint of toast, the main thrust of this delicious wine being its pear and honeyed apple flavors, with acidity cutting through at the end.

Spice and cream dominate this attractive wine. With its full flavors of spice and pear, there is a also a hint of flower. An attractive wine that is developing quickly.
