Situated in the Soultzmatt Valley
"Toasty and spicy, but with tons of golden-fruit character and a slug of exotic aromas, this is a dramatic Alsace dry riesling that pushes the region’s classic style to the limit, but the exciting, lemony acidity keeps it on track at the expressive finish."

Airy and mineral, with a lot of finesse, this riesling from the grand cru Zinnkoepflé harmonizes with grilled fish or skewers of St Jacques.
