Riesling AOC Alsace

Riesling is the undisputed king of Alsace grapes, covering 22.5% of the vineyard area and producing some of the noblest and most age-worthy wines in the region-including Vendage Tardive, Selection de Grains Nobles, and Grand Crus.

Dry, refined, and delicately fruity, it has an elegant bouquet of citrus fruit with mineral or floral notes. A typical mature Alsace Riesling is bone dry, with steely acidity and complex mineral / flint aromas. Like its German counterpart, it displays a superb definition of flavours, but with more concentration and alcohol.

It thrives on schist, shale and slate soils that convey oily, petrolly, mineral aromas to the wine.
