Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Wiebelsberg 2016

A magnificent selection from a locality ("le trou du renard") adjacent to the marl and limestone terroir of the Grand Cru Pfersigberg, which is particularly favourable to Riesling.

A limestone terroir that balances the richness of the ripe pinot noir grapes with beautiful mineral acidity.

Perfectly healthy and ripe grapes, macerated with pigeages to extract all that the grapes have to offer in order to reach an optimal expression

An early variety with a juice that is supple and fruity. Chasselas produces a fresh drinkable wine, without losing the character of the terroir.

A vast bowl-shaped terroir with a south/southeast exposure, Zotzenberg has a marl-limestone sandstone soil renowned for sylvaner but also remarkably well-suited to Riesling to offer great-keeping whites.

Vines over sixty years old on the great marl-limestone terroir of the Eichberg with its warm and dry micro-climate, a Grand Cru magnified by Bruno Schueller's know-how: everything is said!

The Alsatian estate led by Bruno Schueller is a great pioneer of viticulture and wine without inputs of any kind. It is spread over three villages in the Haut-Rhin - Husseren-les-Châteaux, Eguisheim (Grands Crus Eichberg and Pfersigberg) and Obermorschwihr (lieu-dit Bildstoecklé) - and is guided by one philosophy: living soils free of any chemical treatment, totally natural vinification to stay as close as possible to the terroir. The wines are matured for long periods of time to bring the raw material to its highest mineral expression and its greatest capacity to evolve over time. Original and vibrant wines, strongly marked by the personality of the winemaker.

Two neighbouring white grape varieties considered to be minor, but here worked with great care Bruno Schueller knows how to make an exceptional wine.
