Gentil HUGEL 2012


 AOC Alsace


"Very nice spicy flavour of Gewurztraminer, the body of Pinot Gris, the finesse of Riesling, the grapiness of Muscat and the refreshing character of Sylvaner. "

 Refreshing, crisp, light, very summery, typical white wine from Alsace.







I would pair it with this asparagus and spinach mousse with prosciutto.
