Description
The Gresser family has been in Andlau, a village situated in the heart of Alsace, since the 14th century. Their winemaking tradition dates back to 1520 when Thiébaut Gresser began farming the vines on slopes at the foot of the Mont Sainte Odile, a terroir rich in schist which is perhaps the most complex and varied geology of Alsace. The ten-hectare estate is now run by Rémy Gresser, whose philosophy is focused on a love of the land. Using organic and biodynamic methods, Remy creates wines whose style combines elegance and aromatic richness. Each wine, and this Riesling ‘Kritt’ is no exception, has its own unique personality reflecting Rémy’s respect of the terroir’s history, culture, and environment.
This superb Riesling, made from hand-picked grapes, has aromas and flavours of lime zest, peach and yellow plum with hints of flowers and just a nuance of the characteristic Riesling petroleum scent.
This wine is an ideal accompaniment to a range of dishes, particularly those with a hint of spice, such as Asian and Asian-fusion cuisine.
