Domaine Kientzler Grand Cru Geisberg
Refined and refreshing Grand Cru Riesling from Alsace. Terroir personified.
The Geisberg Grand Cru consists of steeply sloped terraces separated by two- to three-metre-high walls. The vines are planted in direction of the slope. The dominant soil is calcareous sandstone with a streak of marl. The geological unity is perfect. The cool winds at night leaving the valley enable a slow ripening of the grape. Moreover, the Vosges mountains protect the vines from damp winds coming from the North-West.
The Geisberg Grand Cru is the land of choice for Riesling. It provides magnitude and complexity with a unique depth and mineral dimension. It is also characterised by its exceptional aging potential ranging from a minimum of 20 to 25 years to much more for outstanding vintages.
Showing an intense bouquet with a rich and varied aromatic scale, marked by an amazing mineral depth and overall refinement. Texture both ample and precise, with a unique dimension on tasting. The powerful and profound mineral intensity is coupled with a mature and precise acidity. Palate with great tension, intense brightness and purity. The overall framework conveys length, elegance and refinement. The perfect choice for any Riesling or fine wine lover.
