Wine Spectator: "Crackling with bright acidity, this sleek white offers a fine array of yellow and green apple, crunchy white peach, mango, blood orange and anise, with a lip-smacking, mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2020. Tasted twice, with consistent notes." Web Only 2013 Winery: "Pale, yellow with golden hints. Nice aromatic intensity, citrus and white flowers notes. Straight forward, fresh, good acidity, good persistence, citrus notes. Serve between 48-53 degrees Fahrenheit. Riesling is the King of Alsace and among the world's greatest grapes. The juice is white and the wines are dry, racy with great definition of the fruit. Grown on mineral soils, it expresses floral and mineral character offering great aging potential. In Alsace, Riesling acquires distinctive concentration perfectly balanced by the acidity. It is one of the best wines to dine with." Winery Facts: Alsace Willm was founded in 1896 by the Willm family. In 1930, just as prohibition was repealed, Alsace Willm was the first Alsace producer to export wines to the US.
