Alsace Riesling

2008 Alsace Riesling

The Huber & Bleger Alsace Riesling from the esteemed 2008 vintage is a wonderful expression of its terroir. This white wine showcases a beautiful pale yellow hue with glimmers of green, inviting you to explore its complexities. The wine features a vibrant acidity that dances on the palate, providing a crisp and refreshing experience. On the nose, it is filled with enticing aromas of stone fruits, particularly peach and apricot, harmoniously intertwined with floral notes and a hint of minerality. This Riesling is distinctly dry, allowing its fruit intensity to shine without being overshadowed, making it an excellent choice for a variety of food pairings. The balance of freshness and fruitiness makes this Alsace Riesling a delightful option for any wine lover looking to experience a classic representation of the varietal.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
