Grand Cru Pfingstberg enjoys an ideal microclimate: lying at 300m altitude, it has a largely south-facing aspect and is sheltered from the rain by the Vosges mountains. The steep slope often demands winegrowers to install terraces for vine plantation. These are perfect conditions for cultivating Riesling, whose fruit is meticulously selected to produce a delicately candied wine; its fresh acidity gives it a racy edge with incredible persistant aromas.

Riesling Grand Cru Pfingstberg Valentin Zusslin (Domaine) serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Homard et langouste, Crabe farci, Coq au riesling.

Peak: 2029-2034
