From the winery:

A true 'Grand Vin' that reflects and emphasises the nature of the terroir even more than the characteristics of the grapes.

Old vines of different varieties typical to Alsace are here planted, picked and vinified together, a style of wine making that dates back to the 13th Century.

The result is a fabulous, rich, Organic wine to enjoy on its own, or which will partner foie gras to perfection

Rich and mouthcoating. Honey, baked apple and cinnamon flavors easily glide across the palate, buttressed by just enough acidity to keep it from becoming cloying. Might be best with foie gras or cheese. Drinkable now, but should age effortlessly.

Ageing potential 10 - 15 years.
