Cave de Ribeauvillé 2012 Clos du Zahnacker White (Alsace)

Country: France / Alsace
Variety: Alsace white blend
Winery: Cave de Ribeauvillé / Clos du Zahnacker

A very soft but distinctly pure nose of ripe, yellow-pear flesh perfumes everything. The palate enters with far more texture than expected and girdles the fruit with phenolic grip, brightened by fresh acidity. The faintest slick of residual sugar boosts the fruit notes towards the dry finish. The pear notes linger beautifully.
