The nose is lively and precise, offering lemon, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle flinty, stony note that adds depth and lift.\n\nOn the palate, it is dry, fresh, and linear, with racy acidity carrying flavors of citrus peel, orchard fruit, and a distinctly mineral finish. The balance of fruit and tension gives it impressive immediate charm, while its structure suggests excellent aging potential over the next several years, developing greater complexity with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from estate vineyards in Alsace, the wine reflects the region’s cool climate and varied soils, which are especially well suited to Riesling.
