Origin

The Riesling Grand Cru Hengst is produced in the Alsace region of France, known for its exceptional terroir and ideal conditions for Riesling grapes.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from Riesling grapes, a variety prized for its aromatic complexity and aging potential.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from the Hengst Grand Cru vineyard, known for its limestone-rich soils. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit, followed by aging on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale golden yellow with brilliant clarity.
  • Aroma: Intense and complex bouquet featuring citrus fruits, white flowers, and mineral notes.
  • Palate: Crisp and elegant with vibrant acidity, flavors of green apple, lime, and flint minerality, finishing long and refined.

Food pairings

This Riesling Grand Cru Hengst pairs excellently with:

  • Seafood dishes such as grilled scallops or lobster.
  • Light poultry preparations with citrus or herb sauces.
  • Asian cuisine including sushi and mildly spiced dishes.
  • Soft cheeses like goat cheese or Brie.
