from The Moveable Feasters: Tasting Level 3 · host The Moveable Feasters
In this episode, we analyse Alsace Riesling using the WSET Level 3 Systematic Approach to Tasting. Sheltered by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace produces dry, high-acid, structured Rieslings with intense citrus, stone fruit and mineral notes, often developing characteristic petrol aromas with age. We discuss climate, soils, alcohol levels, texture, ageing potential, and how to clearly assess quality and readiness for drinking in an exam context. Perfect for WSET Level 3 students preparing for blind tasting.
