<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis wine stood out in a wine club tasting of “rieslings of the world”.<\/p>\n
The winery is located in the small village of Andlau, Alsace, between Strasbourg and Colmar – and the vineyards are also found in three neighbouring villages. Antoine Kreydenweiss is now both manager and oenologist. He inherited the biodynamic principles of his father, and is working the land together with his wife, his family – and his horse.<\/p>\n
The climate could be described as continental, and there is a variety of terroirs in the area. The domaine covers today 13.5 hectares, among these four grand crus. Most of it is found on slopes and small hills with a south-southeast orientation. The soil is a veritable mosaic, including pink sandstone, granite, both grey and blue schist, sediment, and limestone, that -according to the producer- brings “finesse, minerality and freshness” to the wines.<\/p>\n
The wines are typically fermented in big oak barrels (foudres<\/em>), and ageing on the lees is carried out in all wines. The grapes for this Andlau wine was grown in sandy soil, pink sandstone from the Vosgue mountains, in a place perfect for riesling, according to Antoine Kreydenweiss.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Andlau Riesling 2015<\/strong> (Marc Kreydenweiss)<\/em><\/p>\nLight golden. Aroma of mature apples, citrus, minerals and a touch of honey. Fresh and fruity in the mouth, a good level of acidity and a nice and dry finish.<\/p>\n
Price: Low<\/p>\n
Food: White fish, shellfish, rindwashed cheeses like Munster or goat cheeses, salads or light meat.<\/p>\n
