Pfoeller

2008 Alsace Riesling

The Meyer-Fonne Pfoeller Riesling from the esteemed Alsace region showcases the elegance and complexity that this varietal is known for. With its bright golden hue, this wine presents a delightful aromatic profile that includes vibrant notes of stone fruit, zesty citrus, and alluring floral undertones. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, providing a satisfying texture that gracefully balances a high acidity, resulting in a refreshing and invigorating finish. The fruit intensity is prominent, inviting you to savor each sip as it reveals layers of flavor. This Riesling is predominantly dry, allowing the wine's natural characteristics to shine through without overwhelming sweetness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes or to enjoy on its own.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
