2022 E. Traber Alsace Pinot Gris...$25.99
A fresh and pure Pinot Gris from Alsace all hand harvested. Mineral driven with limestone and has flavors of green apples and a lemon/lime accent. The wine has good acidity that is balanced out by the fruit and a touch of honey. Great wine for drinking now but will aged for years too.

Yes, red wine from Alsace
Intense spicy nose with dark berries and sour cherries. The palate is round and lush with flavors of cherry and a touch of cocoa.

Most Alastian Pinot Noirs are made from high yielding grape vines and produce light simple wines, this one is made from low yields and more in the Burgundian style.

Great Sparkling wine from Alsace!
