Grape Varieties Riesling
Classification Dry Wine
Region Alsace
Soil Granite and marl
Vineyard Yield 68 hL/ha
Sites Parcels selected from the estate's vineyards, mostly young vines in Brand
Vine Age 26
Production Details Finished-wine total acidity is reported as 4.8 g/L H2SO4, with 7.3 g/L given as the tartaric-acid equivalent. The harvest was very healthy and mostly from granitic soils. Fermentation made a final advance around September 2010. The analytical table gives 5.8 g/L residual sugar, although the narrative describes the cuvée's dry-wine target as below 5 g/L; both statements are retained as an internal source conflict.
Tasting Notes Gold-green color; mineral and floral Riesling nose; dense, vivacious and long palate; saline acidity; less austere and slightly richer than 2008
