Frey Sylvaner 2020

Formerly known as the Domaine Mersiol, Domaine Charles Frey is a terrific biodynamic source in Dambach-la-Ville in the heart of the Alsace. Their pure, clean wines burst with character and life, and everything from them comes heartily recommended.

Frey’s Sylvaner offers a very expressive nose of cloves and spices like white pepper and juniper.  These notes carry through in the mouth, along with a very attractive touch of gentle grape-peel bitterness with excellent freshness. It’s a bit like the texture of an orange wine, with what feels like a slight touch of tannin on the palate. It could be a great match for Lo Mein or a Thai curry.
