    The wine

    The Bollenberg terroir features clay and ferrous limestone soil, with vines stretching between Rouffach and Issenheim on south-facing gentle slopes which favour a long maturation. Honeysuckle and acacia open on the nose, leading into a spiced palate with notes of pepper and liquorice and a fine honeyed finish. Drink within 10 years and pair with curried fish.
