A harmonious, complex, and distinctive wine. It expresses floral flavors with mineral overtones typical of granite terroirs. Long, lingering aftertastes.
WINEMAKER André Ruhlmann
APPELLATION Riesling
GRAPE VARIETAL 100% Riesling
TERROIR The vines are planted at 300 meters (900 feet) on a southeast-facing hillside called Frankstein, where the steepness and south-easterly aspect ensure constant sun. The soil is covered by granite ‘two micas,’ which allows water to percolate and retains heat for the grapes at night.
WINEMAKING Hand-harvested grapes and the whole berry are pressed pneumatically before a traditional temperature-controlled fermentation. Aging takes place in stainless steel vats.
FOOD PAIRING Excellent with the finest fish, seafood and sushi, as well as with sophisticated entrées and white meat.
ALCOHOL CONTENT 13%
