A 100% Riesling from the Grand Cru Engelberg vineyard, located about 20 km west of Strasbourg. The wine shows a well-structured body with an elegant bouquet of delicate aromas including apricot, tree fruit, honey, and earthy notes, reflecting the site's limestone-marl soils.
This is where Arthur Metz proves it isn't just a négociant volume player — an Engelberg Grand Cru Riesling shows real site expression, with honeyed depth that rewards a few years in bottle.
