Tasting - Baumann Gentil Classiq

I did not pair this wine with food

Name: Baumann Gentil Classiq
Variety: Gentil Classiq (Blend)
Region: Alsace
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $17, on sale for $9.95

Professional Review: A delicious and fresh blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. Light aromas of fresh fruit and delicate white flowers start your journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity on the dry finish ends this French blend beautifully.

My Review: This wine had a sweet nose that smelled of oranges. It also tasted of oranges. I am skeptical that it wine may actually have came from oranges and not grapes. Either way, it wasn't a bad wine. There were subtle hints of spices. Overall the wine was light bodied and refreshing. I would recommend it.
