Albert Boxler Riesling Alsace Grand Cru Sommerberg 'S' 2020

Albert Boxler Riesling Alsace Grand Cru Sommerberg 'S' is celebrated for its opulent blend of citrus, apple, and tropical fruit flavors, with a sophisticated balance of sweetness and acidity. While some find it slightly too sweet, others appreciate its complex minerality and long finish. The wine's elegance and nuanced character make it a favorite, though a few note it may not always justify its price.

This Alsace Grand Cru Riesling presents a luminous straw hue, offering a bouquet of ripe apricot, white peach, and a whisper of petrol, underscored by a mineral backbone that speaks to its granite terroir. On the palate, it reveals a precise interplay of vibrant acidity and a textured, almost oily mouthfeel, with layers of citrus zest and wet stone. The wine's complexity is further enhanced by a touch of honeyed richness, leading to a long, saline finish. This is a benchmark Riesling, showcasing the finesse and expressive depth characteristic of the Sommerberg vineyard.
