Tasting notes on the wine: 

"Saveurs de Raphaël, by Raphaël Marchal, is a peculiar blend of mostly gewurztraminer with a touch of riesling, in which the gewurztraminer’s exuberant nature has been hewn away, somewhat, by an oxidative path of vinification. What remains is an upright acidity and a firm, muscular structure, supporting subtle flavors of curry and sweet onion.” — Aaron Ayscough
