The Riesling is one of the best white wine varieties. It gives a pure and delicate wine. It reflects the terroir like no other grape. Our Riesling Kaefferkopf e.g. combines fruit and minerality. It kan be kept for years, during which it develops the rich bouquet of well-made old Rieslings. Riesling is best for dishes with white meat, seafruit and the famous Alasatian Choucroute. Serve between 5° and 7° C. More about the Riesling

Our late harvest "Vendanges Tardives" wines are very special. We can only produce them if nature provides the perfect weather. We make our late harvest wines solely from the four noble varieties: Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Muscat d’Alsace. We pick the overripe grapes affected by noble rot (pourriture noble) giving the wine its characteristic bouquet and palate: sweet with impressions of nuts, intense and with a very long and pleasant aftertaste. Enjoy these masterpieces with dishes of the highest quality, like foie gras, sweet dessert, the famous Munster Cheese etc. Also excellent for aperitif. More about the Vendanges Tardives
