Riesling 1957 by Pfaff is a premium expression of Alsace Riesling from the '1957 by Pfaff' range, created by Cave de Pfaffenheim to honor the winery's founding year. Despite the name, this is a contemporary, young, and vibrant current-vintage wine rather than an aged bottle. It showcases the classic terroir of Alsace with a brilliant pale gold color and a refined aromatic profile of citrus, green apple, and white flowers. On the palate, it is dry, crisp, and elegant, featuring a signature mineral backbone and high acidity that defines high-quality Riesling.
A precise, food-friendly bottling that reflects the purity of fruit that defines good modern Alsace winemaking.

Terroir & Winemaking
Sourced from selected vineyards in the Alsace region. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, followed by gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary fruit aromas and crisp acidity.
