Riesling Cuvee Frédéric Emile 1998

The grapes are hand picked in the GC Geisberg and Osterberg as late as possible to achieve ripeness , optimum flavour intensity and complexity. The vinification was traditional and the wine is now a perfect wine for gastronomy: dry, no residual sugar and no oak-aging. The salient characteristics of the wine are extreme purity and concentrated fruit. Bottling is early to preserve freshness and the wines are then bottle-aged before leaving the winery. This is our text-book, dry “Frédéric Emile”, a classic from our best terroirs in Ribeauvillé, which will keep for years.

Dry and hot climate but with cold nights thanks to our climate in Ribeauvillé and the cold winds from the valley.

Limestone marls and grès des Vosges Subsoil is shell limestone
