Current condition

The 2021 vintage is still young with fresh acidity and tight mineral character; still requires a few years to reach full aromatic expression.

The 2021 vintage in Alsace was good but with cooler conditions resulting in fresh acids and restrained fruit. Given the producer's classic natural approach and the field blend style, these wines benefit from bottle aging for aromatics to fully develop while maintaining freshness.

Pairs well with shellfish, whelks, grilled white fish, Alsatian cuisine such as choucroute, and mildly spiced Asian dishes
