A trio of white wines

Sine the last time I had the chance to try three different white wine, two from Alsace and one from Alto Adige (Süd Tyrol).

First up is a riesling wine by Jean Biecher. The nose is fresh while the taste is of citrus, white peppar and some grapefruit. The finish is dry. Nice wine. The second wine from Alsace is a Pinot Gris from Bestheim. The nose reminds me of spices while the taste is dry, some apples and a hint of spices. Tastes good.

The last wine is from one of my favourite wine regions namely Alto Adige (Süd Tyrol). It is a Pinot Grigio from 2009 by producer Joseph Hofstätter. I have tasted the Gewürztraminer by Joseph Hofstätter two years ago and it was very good and it will be intresting to see how this will be. The nose if of fruits and the taste stays long on the palate. The taste reminds me of green apples and it has some acids. Delightful.
