Description:
This Alsatian style Riesling is from LesVignes de Marcoux, Muncey Park and Naches Heights Vineyards. It has a minerality, acidity and concentration of fruit that we feel is on par with some of the best Rieslings in the world. It has wonderful pear and green-apple flavors, along with hints of grapefruit, tropical mango and a long fruit-filled finish. Try with fresh fruit and creme fraiche, or with mild cheeses. 100 cases produced.
