2024 Noble Blend Edelzwicker
Tasting notes
Our 2024 Edelzwicker displays layered aromatics, with fruit experienced differently on front, mid, and back palate. The finish is clean, lingering softly, while lifting off the palate. On the nose, juicy peach, jasmine and herbs are noted while mint and nasturtium flowers mingle in the background. On the palate, a saltiness, orange blossom, and a minerality akin to the fresh first rain of the season all greet the taste buds. A textural component, similar to orange peel, subtly linger. Ⓥ
This Alsatian blend of white grapes was fermented in stainless steel and is truly a unique wine, where particular care is dedicated to revealing layers of flavor and contrast. Each vintage is very different from the last and expresses the winemaker's style.
