Tasting Notes:
The wines are full-bodied, with a flavourful bouquet of lime, meyer lemon, green apple, pear, and white peach. They exemplify the notions of ripeness, spice, and high acidity. Expect Alsatian Pinot Gris to be a little more expensive than other varieties of this grape.
Food and wine Pairing:
Be sure to serve this wine ice cold. This wine pairs very well with light fishes such as perch, Coquilles St Jacque (Scallops) and soul. It also tastes amazingly well with chicken, turkey, duck, crustaceans, or pork. Cruciferous vegetables are well complimented by the acid in the wine as are well spiced greens.
The Wine:
Alsatian Pinot Gris has highly regarded characteristics compared to its Italian and New World counterparts. Grown and produced in Northeast France, the volcanic and limestone soils provide the perfect canvas for a wine of superlatives and class.
One should do what they must to ensure that life is not spent without having experienced the complexity and sumptuousness of Alsatian Pinot Gris.
Historically Alsace has been in a tug-of war between France and Germany, but France won. What this means for the wine is that production methods and nuances of both countries make their way into the bottles this region produces.

In Brief
Very smooth, tasty wine. Slightly sweet without any sugar. Full, heavy body with no citrus notes and an oily taste of ripe melon. Great experience. Perfect match with crustaceans and oily fish, especially Coquilles St Jacques (scallops).
