SRP of $17 and available at that price. Sample submitted for review. Imported by Wineberry.
From the bottle:
“Sourced from limestone laden vineyards, this complex, refreshing wine suggests flavors of nectarine and peach. Enjoy it with meat, fish or simply on its own.
12.5% Alcohol”
The 2011 Domaine Jean Ginglinger Pinot Blanc Cuvée George begins with lovely, complex and elegant aromas of tangerine and lime plus cloves and hints of other baking spice. Tasting reveals lots more tangerine along with more delicious fruit like peaches, green apple and lime. This wine has great acidity and a wonderful, smooth mouthfeel. Those hints of baking spice from the nose also continue and a bit of spicy minerality leads into the long, elegant finish. Another excellent wine from Alsace!
