The much-respected Alsatian winery Cave de Beblenheim has been making wine for more than 50 years. on the palate, the wine is just dry with balanced sweetness to acidity and flavours of tropical fruits, ripe stone fruit, quince, honeysuckle and soft sweet cake spices. Try this classic with grilled pork. This vintage was awarded Gold at the 2017 Concours Général Paris.

Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Leave the Pinot Gris to the Alsatians and you'll never be disappointed. This wine is loaded with stone fruit, creamed pear, spice, dried apricot and Meyer lemon. The touch of residual sugar doesn't sit heavy. It's perfect with Asian food or even with some washed rind cheese at the end of a meal. Incredible price, stunning wine. 92 Points.
