"(Made from the "richer terraces on the mid-slope") Medium yellow. Exotic pear liqueur, orange, honey and earth on the nose; showing plenty of botrytis character. Offers a creamy sweetness in the mouth (actually 25 g/l r.s.), with orange and honey flavors joined by tropical fruit hints. Relies more on its solid mineral spine than on its rather soft acidity for shape. Finishes suave, sweet and quite long. "These grapes are always too rich to vinify dry," notes Laurence Faller."

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.
