Fun to try this at age 22. Still drinking well. The nose is more about minerality but a bit of peach and slight dried floral note. Light bodied. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, this has some vibrancy if a bit past prime. Peach and minerals. Enough acidity. Nice finish. These should be consumed earlier than later at this point. It drinks nicely on its own and worked at the end of a meal to wake up the palate.
This is a sweet wine though no markings on the bottle to indicate that. It was served after a meal and worked well. Not cloying but more than off dry. Light golden in color. The nose has honey and apricots. Also a bit of ginger. This is viscous. On the palate, the honey and apricots come thru. Enough acidity to bring it all together. Will work well with fruit desserts or on its own. Seems to be cruising along just fine so at least another five and probably ten years at this level.
10% Gewurztraminer, 30% Pinot Blanc, 30% Pinot Gris, 30% Riesling. This is made in the traditional method. It does not appear to be labelled as Cremant. Light silvery/yellow/white/gold in color. Very pale. A nice head of medium sized bubbles. The nose is nice with a bit of seltzer and slight lemon. On the palate, this has slight lime peel with some juniper berry (Gin) and other herbals. Not a lot of depth but very refreshing. Slightly short on the finish. This is easy drinking sparkling wine. Dry and very food friendly. At $16, this is a nice value.
