Riesling - Grand Cru Frankstein

2010 Alsace Riesling

The Hubert Beck Riesling - Grand Cru Frankstein from the renowned Alsace region is a stunning representation of this classic varietal. With its pale golden hue, this wine dazzles the eye and invites you to explore its depth. On the palate, it showcases a medium body, perfectly balancing weight and finesse. The acidity is bright and invigorating, enlivening every sip and enhancing its refreshing qualities. As you savor the wine, delightful notes of stone fruit emerge, particularly ripe apricot and juicy peach, resulting in a prominent fruit intensity that captivates the senses. This Riesling is decidedly dry, allowing its exquisite flavor profile to shine through without overwhelming sweetness. The tannins are remarkably subtle and integrated, contributing to a smooth and harmonious finish that lingers gracefully. This exceptional 2010 vintage exemplifies the best of Alsace winemaking.

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.
