It's not a bad match, but as with many top Alsatian wines, the wine is so intense that it almost overpowers even such robust fare as this. Pleasant spicy black-fruit aroma. Good quaff and a very good value. Fine for washing down chicken sausages with kale and potatoes. Very dark ruby color, shows glints of orange when you hold it up to the light.
Tannins become evident only in the finish.
Clear pale straw color. Heady, perfumed floral aromas over fresh pears. Flavors follow the nose, dry and tart, sweet pears and citric acidity lingering in a long, consistent finish. Works fine with leftover pork and sauerkraut, a combination that calls for a full-bodied, aromatic white. Very dark garnet.
