My inspiration for this wine stems from the fond memories of traveling in Strasbourg, France and finding an ‘Edelzwicker’ in nearly every cafe. Traditionally served in petite green stemmed goblets — an Edelzwicker is an Alsatian blend (zwicker) composed of noble (edel) varieties. Most often comprised of Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris and/or Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Chasselas and Pinot Blanc. This wine has a turbid pale yellow hue in glass. A punchy nose of stonefruit, peach, and bright lemon-lime meet a refreshing and zesty palate. Serve with a chill and toast to keeping the spirit of Alsace alive and well in California. -Winemaker's Notes
