In the Bas-Rhin near the town of Barr, surrounding the village of Mittelbergheim, are located the 9.5 hectares of vineyards owned by Lucas Rieffel and his father André. Lucas took over the reins in 1996. Benefiting from a spicy mix of sandstone, clay, marl, granite and limestone soils, Lucas's strength lies particularly in his range of fine varietal wines, notably Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Sylvaner and increasingly Pinot Noir.

This is a stunning wine from one of Rieffel’s single Grand Cru vineyard sites, Zotzenberg. It has lively lime sherbet and acacia flower on the nose, with pure and concentrated tropical fruit on the palate, zippy acidity and a mineral spine. An elegant and exuberant wine, with outstanding potential to age.
