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.
Kirchberg de Barr's deep soils give this Riesling a minerality and aging potential the Réserve bottling simply can't match.
