88/A-
Tasted by Mike Supple - 07 Mar 2009
Pale lemon yellow core in the glass. Youthful and fresh aromas of green apple and a touch of lemon all surrounded by light white flower hints. Dry on the palate with great zesty acidity. Lemon zest, green apple and white peach surround a hint of wet stone.
A perfect wine to kick off the beginning of Spring. Fresh, crisp and easy to drink. The perfect cocktail wine for a Thursday evening or just hanging out in the back yard while playing fetch with the dog on a Saturday afternoon. Also a perfect accompaniment to crab or oysters. Sylvaner is one of the classic grapes of Alsace that is unfortunately being replaced in many areas by the more popular Riesling grape.
