This is a crowd pleasing Riesling.
Binner Savuers Field Blend
The wines mirror the winemaker when it comes to Binner, a smart, soft spoken, sensitive seeming guy. This wine is a field blend, which were all the rage in Alsace pre-World War II. Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer co-fermented (opposed to fermenting separately and then blended) to make this unfiltered, ever so slightly cloudy wine that explodes with aroma and tastes from all the grapes. It is aromatic, crisp, steely and deep all at once, but most of all it’s just incredibly refreshing to drink. Winemaking Details: Unfiltered

Albert Mann Gewurztraminer
Domaine Albert Mann is the fruit of two winemaking families in the region. Together, they have 900 years of winemaking history.

This wine has pronounced nose of lychee, white peach and orange peel. On the palate, the mouthfeel is round and full with spicy bitterness at the end. Exactly what you look for in a proper Gewurtztraminer. Winemaking Details: Low SO2 Added
