Riesling Grand Cru Brand

The appellation of Grand Cru in Alsace was created in 1983, to denote wines produced from the very best sites. Our Riesling is from the Grand Cru Brand, situated on the granite hillside behind the village of Turckheim and Pierre's vines are between 15 and 50 years old. At an altitude of 250 metres and with a southeasterly exposure, this site has been famous for the quality of its wines - especially Rieslings - since the Middle Ages.

The wine has a delicate bouquet, a floral flavour, and a mineral or slatey finish, very typical of the terroir. It is dry, with good balance between fruit and acidity. Delicious when young, it will also improve and become more complex for up to 10 years.
