WINE DESCRIPTION
The terroir of Riesling Grand Cru Engelberg comprises three south-facing terraces. A shallow soil layer rests on firm limestone, compelling the roots to penetrate through limestone cracks. Grapes ripen consistently, attaining remarkable balance at maturity. The wines mirror the terroir's character, showcasing high aromatic concentration, fullness, and a tight acid structure, making it suitable for aging. While the young wine displays impressive overall harmony, the true sophistication and complexity of Engelberg emerge after a few years.

ORIGINS

Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles.
Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.CUSTOMER RATING
