"The 1998 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl Vendanges Tardives was fashioned from the grapes Olivier Humbrecht harvested last (on October 24th). Its toasted nut and flower-scented nose leads to a nuanced, beautifully precise personality. Creamy pears, candied lemons, and sweet apricots are found in this plump, yet graceful wine. Concentrated and complex, it admirably combines delicacy and power."

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.
