Ripe apple, citrus and melon nose with a hint of honey. Generous and perfumed. Sweetly fruited melon, citrus and honey palate with good acidity, and a tiny hint of citrus, although this is a dry wine. Lovely texture, and good value at around\u00a315 retail. 92\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last year, I have fallen in love with Alsace.
