Domaine Leon Boesch Alsace Edelzwicker 2022 1000 ml
The Boesch family has been farming their vineyards and making their wine in Alsace for eleven generations, so long that no one knows who made the cellar door that adorns the Boesch label. For much of that time, and certainly of late, they have farmed biodynamically and practiced natural winemaking. All of the domaine’s wines are reliably pleasant, but one of the friendliest is this Edelzwicker, a traditional blend of Alsatian varieties that seeks to bring together the best of each. While Alsace has long made a habit of selling single varietal wines, Edelzwickers like this are a reminder that this was not always true, and that sometimes even the best grapes need a little company. This 2022 vintage contains large portions of Riesling and Pinot Blanc, a medium sized dollop of Gewurztraminer, and splashes of Pinot Gris and Muscat, each doing their part to create aromas of lemon and lychee, acacia and gravelly soil in the sunshine. The palate is rich and filled with creamy lemon curd and lime zest before finishing with a burst of stone-driven minerality and cleansing acidity. Serve with chicken and dumplings, sauerkraut, and large parties.
