"Musky, spicy nose shows more obvious varietal character than the Cuvee Theo. Full, broad and spicy, with ripe, harmonious acids giving shape to the wine. A bit of tannic bitterness and a piquant note of red grapefruit provides grip to the finish. These vines are located beneath Altenbourg, which is in the middle of the slope, below the grand cru Furstentum."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Sheltered by the Vosges mountains, Alsace produces aromatic, mostly dry varietal whites - Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris - of exceptional purity and ageability.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
