TASTING NOTES
In the glass it looks pale yellow color. At the nose is expressive, refined, with citrus and white flower aromas. As soon as you drink it you feel a lively attack, refreshing acidity, lime, granny smith apple with a great structure, fruity with a clean and dry finish. A classy dry and gastronomic Riesling from Gustave Lorentz! Delicious with grilled, raw and lightly boiled fish dishes, seafood, poultry and white meat. Perfect for pork, veal chop, seafood and goat cheese. The vines are growing on various hill-sides around the little village of Bergheim with a predominance of heavy soils compound by clay and limestone. The exceptional nature of 2022 is obvious! The elders evoke 1947 or 1959. Nothing has been spared for the Alsatian vineyard: the April frost which caused heterogeneous yields, the June hail which generated differences in maturity and finally the drought (water stress). With a water deficit since September 2021, Alsace broke the record for the number of days with temperatures over 30°, with temperatures in July higher than in 2003. This drought nevertheless allowed diseases to be limited, the sanitary state was very satisfactory, and the grapes harvested were of very good quality. The rain at the end of August, which had been expected for two months, has been a saviour to the plots, limiting the expected loss of yield. The clay-limestone soils of Bergheim also protected those vines, having less impact on the crop. In mid-September, depending on the geographical situation, between half and two thirds of the harvest has been completed, with the harvest starting 15 days earlier than in 2021.

It is thanks to a great passion handed down from generation to generation that the company still maintains very high quality levels today. According to the production philosophy, the essence of the wines is the result of the intimate and close relationship between vines, territory and climate.
