A very disappointing wine that suggests to me that Fristo should stick to beer retailing.
It's sound and pleasant enough but we've come to expect so much better at this price in Germany.
GRAPE VARIETY: Sylvaner
REGION: Germany
A/V: 12.5%
PRICE: 7.49 euro
FROM: Fristo, Germany
RATING: 2.5/5 from me
They make lovely Sylvaners in this part of the world. I don't think this is quite up to the Rosenhof level but still a very good full bodied dry white and outstanding value at
this price.
REGION: Alsace
A/V: 12%
PRICE: 3.8 euro
FROM: E.Leclerc
RATING: 4.5/5 from me
The wine with the crazy retro label delivers again with an outstanding expression of this variety. It opens just a little subdued and then explodes into a spectrum of flavours. If you're looking for a change from sauvignon blanc this is definitely worth a try. Absolute bargain.
3.89euro from SuperU France
5/5 Rating from me
This has the ultimate retro label very reminiscent of of the stuff we bought in Australia in the early 1970s.
This is a very attractive spicy dry white. And while I prefer the crisper German style, The Bride loved it enough to insist we buy half a dozen.
