RIESLING RESERVE
Alsazia Appellation d'origine contrôlée
GRAPE VARIETY
100% Riesling
TASTING NOTES
The long slopes and the limestone and clay hills surrounding the village of Bergheim are perfect for maturing Riesling optimally. In fact, despite the fact that the weather in the 2021 vintage was not clement, and wine production in Alsace fell by a quarter compared to the average year, this Riesling managed not only to escape the spring frost, but also to ripen perfectly and not be attacked by powdery mildew. The resulting wine has a brilliant pale yellow colour. The nose is expressive, refined, with citrus aromas and mineral hints due to the limestone in the soil. In the mouth, it is lively and pleasantly acidic. A Riesling Reserve with great structure and a clean, dry flavour. A dry Riesling Reserve, typical of Alsace. Perfect with raw, steamed or grilled fish. Seafood and white meat are other excellent alternatives.
