This wine has a lovely aromatic and flowery nose. The palate is rich and well-balanced showing peaches, apricots and white blossom.

''Pear and honey on the nose of this wine promise richness. The palate follows through with juicy notes of ripe pear and an off-dry body textured with citrusy pith. This wine is rounded, aromatic and beautifully balanced.'' Anne Krebiehl, Wine Enthusiast Magazine (Previous Vintage Review)

Michel Lihrmann has been the senior winemaker for over 25 years and his style of dryer wines has been a huge hit, expressing the wonderful breadth of the Alsatian terroir and pushing pure fruit flavours to the fore.

''Alsace remains an underrated and underexplored wine-growing region internationally. This is a great shame as the area can claim some of the most geologically diverse soils and unique microclimates on Earth.'' James Suckling
