Bel Lago 2012 Auxerrois (Leelanau Peninsula)

Country: US /
Variety: Auxerrois Michigan
Winery: Bel Lago / Leelanau Peninsula

This uncommon Alsatian variety seems to do well in the equally cool-climate of northern Michigan. Steely-lemon focused, with salty cheese rind and sea spray notes, this light-bodied white is given a bit of breadth from eight months aging in neutral French oak.
