TASTING NOTES
Ripe citrus and orchard fruits dominates on the nose. The mouth shows a nice texture with a spicy lift and stone fruits character. Juicy acidity and vibrant salinity keep the mouth watering and display a lengthy finish.
Rated 1 on a scale of 5 for residual sugar. 1 = Driest / 5 = sweetest
Certifed organic by Ecocert since 2002, the 37 acres of Vincent Stoeffler are located in the best “terroirs” of The Bas-Rhin and includes the two Grand Crus Kirchberg in Barr and Schoenenbourg in Riquewhir.
Vincent knows that what makes the greatest wines depend of the grapes’ quality. In the vineyard he uses no pesticides nor herbicides, favor low yielding and harvest exclusively by hand at optimum ripeness. In the cellar he chooses hands- off winemaking, uses native yeasts, practice long pressing in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit, slow fermentations and uses large old French oak vats for patient ageing on fine lies.
Riesling originates on the banks of the Rhine River, natural border between Alsace and Germany. Most of Alsatian Rieslings are known to be entirely dry, which differentiate them from their close neighbor who favors residual sugar.
SOIL TYPE
Clay and Marl - power and finesse. Rich in silica – enhance the aromatic South/South-east exposure
All the soils are worked mechanically in order to aerate the soil and preserve the biodiversity. No pesticides, no herbicides and no phytosanitary products are used for treatments. Protection of the vineyard is made by spraying of “Bouillie Bordelaise” and nettle/horsetail tisane preparations (Biodynamic practices). Harvests are made exclusively by hand
Certified organic by Ecocert since 2002
