The name ‘edelzwicker’ comes from the word ‘Zwicker’ which means ‘blend’ and ‘Edel’ which means ‘noble’. So essentially it’s a blend of noble varieties from Alsace, and that’s sylvaner, pinot blanc, riesling, muscat d’alsace, pinot gris, gewürztraminer, auxerrois and the Swiss grape chasselas. It’s a pretty crazy spectrum of flavours such as preserved lemon, rockmelon, and guava plus there’s a slightly sour, oxidative note, pollen, white pepper and a creamy, cashew character on the finish.
