Hubert Meyer Sylvaner 2021

Nearly crystal clear with aromas of gentle yet sweet citrus, tropical fruit melange deep in the bowl.

Palate--An off dry first impression with a good line of acidity, tightly wound at the moment but with warm, flavors of tropical fruit cocktail. Finishes rather quickly but with satisfying fruit.

A common grape of Alsace but also grown in Northern Italy and Germany. It is a very dry white wine yet its fruitiness can be confused with being "sweet."  It is not.  Chill it down some and enjoy it with buttery sauces, lighter cheeses and cream sauces with poultry. 

I paid a ridiculous $6 for this wine so raise a glass!


*Obviously the label shown is a different vintage!
