JP Kappler 2023, Alsace, Riesling

Elegant yet electric, this Riesling shines with golden hues, citrus herbs, and stone fruit swirl. Tailor-made for freshwater fish and shellfish, sip it now to elevate a seafood dinner or cellar it for a few years to watch its minerality and richness evolve.

Tasting Notes: Pale golden yellow with green reflections and elegant legs, this dry Riesling reveals delicate aromas of verbena and lemon balm, lifted by mirabelle plum and citrus zest. The palate is clean and precise, driven by bright acidity and chalky minerality that lend the wine both freshness and depth. Notes of ripe orchard fruit and subtle spice add complexity, while a long, clean finish showcases its varietal purity and aging potential. Ideal with oysters, shellfish, or freshwater trout.

Varietals: 100% Riesling
