The 3rd and final Riesling in our blind taste test is from Alsace, France. For those that are used to German Rieslings, you'll find Alsace Rieslings to be quite different even though they're literally right across the river from each other. Alsace Rieslings are not as sweet as German Rieslings and this particular one is a bit more acidic and citrus forward rather than the usual honey, apples, peaches and pears offered in their German counterparts. Our testers agreed across the board that the color was quite pale, the bouquet light, and the style crisp. The tasters agreed that it was citrus dominated but split between lemon/lime and grapefruit. All agreed the sweetness was off-dry to dry with high acidity and a monotonous complexity. All three were in agreement with a solid finish. With scores of 71, 73, and 82, the average score of 75 described this Riesling as ordinary as table wine can get. In all fairness to Alsace, our tasters were German Riesling fans and I threw in the French version to show them that the same grape in a different terroir can yield a completely different flavor and aroma.
