2020 Riesling Alsace Grand Cru Osterberg Ribeauvillé

One of only three Grand Cru vineyards in Ribeauvillé. You'll find all of Alsace's four major grapes but Riesling makes up almost 50% and dominates to the west. A refreshing breeze from the Aubure valley lowers the temperatures here on the warm south/southeast-facing slope. So you may know your Osterberg by its fullness, generosity, exotic fruit and honey. But Riesling from Osterberg always has a refreshing acidity and dried herbs. Yes, you can understand that it was with a barrel of wine from Grand Cru Osterberg that the German Emperor Sigismund wooed King Erik - ruler of Sweden, Norway and Denmark - in 1426, hoping for an alliance. A glass of Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Osterberg easily seduces a Scandinavian or 10! Translated using AI.
