Hubert Meyer Grand Cru Riesling A.O.C Winzenberg Alsace 2022

Alsace Grand Cru Rieslings are known for their expressive aromatics, vibrant acidity, and complex minerality. Typical flavor profiles include:

• Aromas: Citrus fruits (lemon, lime), green apple, white flowers, and sometimes hints of petrol or flint.

• Palate: Dry to off-dry with high acidity, showcasing flavors of stone fruits (peach, apricot), citrus zest, and a pronounced mineral backbone.

• Finish: Long and clean, often with lingering notes of citrus and minerality.

This is a gastronomy wine of excellence. Shellfish, grilled fish, roasted meats (yes roasted meats), a specialty of Alsace, highlights its complexity.

The Meyer family has a tradition as vignerons in Blienschwiller that dates back to 1722. Hubert Meyer and now since 2009, his son Pierre, a graduate in oenology, vinify the wines of this estate of about 10 hectares. The range of their good vintages is divided, as is often the case in the region, into Vins de Tradition, dedicated to the 7 Alsatian grape varieties and Vins de Prestige, made from plots selected at harvest when the vintage allows it. The Prestige range includes Pinot Noir aged in barrels, Pinot Gris and Riesling from the Grand Cru Winzenberg Vineyard. Pierre Meyer also makes delicious Crémant d’Alsace Blanc and Rosé Brut following the Methode Champenoise. Converted in Biodynamic since 2019, the wines really express the quality of the terroir and their varietal.
