Marcel Deiss Altenberg Grand Cru 2020

Peach and apricot lead with a honeyed sweetness, but there's a mineral coolness underneath that keeps everything honest. Rose petal and elderflower lift the nose. On the palate, ripe stone fruit meets bright citrus in a tension that makes you want another sip. The finish turns stony and lingers. This field blend of Alsatian whites on limestone and clay needs time, the almond and peach skin complexity is just beginning to emerge. Wait.
