Riesling is a light-skinned, aromatic grape of German origin which is – if the majority of top wine critics are to be believed – the world's finest white wine grape variety.
- Numerous prizes have been won by this wine: the Concours General Agricole Paris awarded the 2011 vintage Gold and the Concours des Grands Vins de France Macon awarded Or.
- This is above average in popularity for wines from Alsace. Greater numbers of users have been searching for this wine compared to a year ago.
- A diverse array of wines are made by this producer including those from grapes Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Chardonnay - Pinot Blanc - Pinot Noir, and Silvaner.
- Alsace, in the far north-eastern corner of France, stands out from other French wine regions thanks to its strong Franco-Germanic influences. These are the results of the region having switched back and forth between German and French sovereignty in recent centuries – and are evident not only in Alsatian architecture and culture, but also in the wines.
