About this wine
Riesling from the deep, structured terroir of Grand Cru Kirchberg de Barr, one of Alsace's most renowned Grand Cru sites. Straw-gold with a green glint, showing delicate spice and freshly cut apple aromas, layered flavors of ripe apple, dried earth, and mineral tones that gain complexity with age.
A step up from the Réserve range — shows how terroir adds structure and minerality without losing Riesling's freshness.
Sommelier's Note

Food Pairings
