93 WA "There are intense and fresh peach aromas on the nose, very elegant and spicy, of the 1983 Riesling Frederic Emile Vendange Tardive. It is highly mineral and almost dry, with grip, tension and a concentrated peach fruit flavor. Dense and tightly structured. Excellent."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, Alsace produces aromatic, mostly dry varietal whites - Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris - of exceptional purity and ageability.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
