Kientzler Riesling Geisberg 1.5L MAGNUM 2019

Kientzler Riesling Geisberg is a dry grand cru Alsace Riesling from a steep south facing slope at Ribeauville, bottled in magnum.

The Kientzler family farms a small holding on the hillsides around Ribeauville, including parcels in the grand crus of Geisberg, Osterberg and Kirchberg de Ribeauville. Geisberg faces due south on marl, limestone and sandstone, and its thin, free draining soils and sheltered position give Riesling both ripeness and a hard mineral edge. Yields are kept low, the fruit is picked by hand and whole bunch pressed, and fermentation runs slowly before the wine rests on its fine lees in neutral vessels. The house style is dry, precise and unshowy, with the grand cru showing itself in structure and length rather than obvious fruit.

Dry and tightly wound, it works with shellfish, smoked fish, poultry in cream and Alsace charcuterie; serve at 10 to 12 degrees, and give a young magnum air before pouring.
