2018 Marcel Deiss Engelgarten Alsace

Opens with a waft of bergamot oil on the nose that continues on the palate as sleek, orange-peel infused acidity joins a minerally underpinning of graphite and stone flavors. Notes of baked pear, Marcona almond and a touch of salted butter appear on the creamy finish. Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Drink now through 2026. 900 cases made, 15 cases imported. Review Date: November 2021
