Current status

Approaching early maturity

Current condition

The 2020 vintage is showing fresh citrus, mineral notes and balanced acidity typical of Alsace Riesling at this stage.

The high acidity combined with mineral-rich Grand Cru terroir from Wiebelsberg vineyard contributes to a Riesling that can gracefully age for two decades or more while developing complex tertiary notes.

Food pairing

Pairs beautifully with seafood (oysters, scallops), light poultry dishes, Asian cuisine with citrus or ginger, and goat cheese.
