A pure, fruit-driven nose, with aromas of cut limes and a hint of petrol. The wine has a perfumed honeyed palate and is intensely fruity, with fresh lime zestiness dominating the palate, followed by notes of white peach and mineral complexity. The finish is dry, refreshing and beautifully balanced, and incredibly open for a young Alsace Riesling.
The ideal food wine, the fine citrus characters make this Riesling the perfect partner for fish, seafood and shellfish. Good with poultry, particularly roast chicken and hearty summer salads.

Winemaking is traditional in style and is overseen by Michel Lihrmann. Grapes are sourced from
selected prime vineyards lying on siliceous soil. Harvesting is by hand or machine, depending on the
site. Pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no finings and light filtration before
bottling - all to preserve fruit and aromatic qualities and elegance. His philosophy is to make wines
with good acidity and fruit balance.
