A Riesling from the Osterberg Grand Cru, the marl-limestone-sandstone vineyard that also hosts the historic Clos du Zahnacker. Intense, complex, and distinctive on the nose with citrus aromas and fine minerality, beautifully balanced and long on the palate with elegant, ripe acidity.
Osterberg gives Ribeauvillé's most mineral, saline-edged Riesling — the terroir that also produces the legendary Clos du Zahnacker speaks clearly here.
