The Riesling is the King of Alsace and among the world’s greatest grapes. The juice is white and the wines are dry, racy with great definition of the fruit. Grown on mineral soils, it expresses floral and mineral character offering great ageing potential. In Alsace, Riesling acquires distinctive concentration perfectly balanced by the acidity. It is one of the best wines to dine with.

TASTING NOTES:  The grapes are carefully hand-picked from the very steep slopes that surround this region in northeastern France.  This wine is racy and dry with beautiful floral and mineral characteristics.  A versatile wine, equally perfect for sipping on its own or with barbecued tuna steaks, seafood, white meat and Pan-Asian dishes.
