Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Wiebelsberg Marc Kreydenweiss 2008

The wine

This rising star of the Alsace wine-producing region has set his distinctive stamp on this strikingly delicate and elegant Riesling. Its freshness is counterbalanced by a richness borne of a red sandstone terroir and relatively sunny climate. It is ideal with gourmet fare as its texture and iodine-tinged profile will add lustre to premium fish or seafood.

About the Producer Marc Kreydenweiss

Domain Marc Kreydenweiss is a family affair: it was originally created by Marc Kreydenweiss, who then passed the reins over to his son Antoine, seconded by his wife Charlotte and daughters Zoé, Lilou and Léonie. At the foothills of the Vosges, the estate has a wide variety of soils, spans 13.5 hectares and owns four Grands Crus. The vineyard has been farmed biodynamically since 1999 and natural vinifications allow the terroir to shine through in all its typicity and character. We particularly appreciate their refined, concentrated wines which are energized by a nice acidity.
