Riesling Herrenreben Sélection de Grains Nobles 2013 AOC Alsace

♦ Fabulous richness and incredible freshness ♦

Herrenreben means ‘The Lords’ vines' because back in the 15th century, the Lords of Ribeaupierre owned vines here. This is where our oldest Rieslings grow, deeply rooted in the granite that will provide a beautiful minerality, enhanced by a superb acidity preserved by the high altitude of this locality (up to 500m).

Tasting notes

• Straw yellow with golden hues that promise concentration.
• Very expressive and complex nose with overripe notes such as acacia honey, candied fruit, but also fresher notes of lemongrass and citrus.
• Ample attack, dazzling richness and complexity, while remaining very fine thanks to the acidity specific to this high altitude Riesling, which allows it to finish on a fresh and persistent palate.

Food and wine pairing

A wine of pleasure, even of emotion and meditation, to be savoured above all for itself, for pure pleasure!
Its opulence and finesse will go wonderfully well with foie gras. Its sweetness with a hint of vivacity will go well with tangy desserts such as an apricot tart, or citrus or fruit-based desserts.
