Domaine Marcel Deiss Grasberg 2003
By David
Wendy and I tried this and the 2002 release fairly close together. Wendy liked one vintage and I the other. A blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer from Bergheim. This opens with lovely fruit flavours and a nose showing ripe honeyed fruit almost like that of a 4 year old Clare Riesling. The character is typical of quite a few whites from 2003 in Alsace that I have tried. The wine has nice length, good acidity and reasonable hit of residual sugar but in excellent balance. The flavours start off with the ripe grapefruit, then the rose petal, straw and honey.
