Tangent Eccelstone 2008

"This has become one of my favorite wines to make each vintage. I taste through the individual lots of all the tangent varieties, plus a few "extra" wines. I then make a few different trial blends. The wine seems to take on a life of its own during this process, and I very soon arrive at the final blend. It is an exotic wine, strongly inspired by the wines found in the Alsace region of France. It is very aromatic and flowery, a touch sweet, and wonderfully refreshing. Try it with any spicy food." - Christian Roguenant,Tangent Winemaker
