Riesling Grand Cru Kanzlerberg

Vintage Notes

The 2018 vintage will go down in history, both in terms of unusual conditions and quality of harvest. The Alsace reported a year’s worth of rainfall in the first 7 months, allowing the region to replenish its water reserves. Despite this the vineyard’s sanitary conditions were preserved, enhanced by the second warmest summer on record since 1900. The summer was marked by consistent high temperatures and a heat wave from late July to early August. The conditions for harvest were optimal, yielding ideal quality and quantity. Cellar samples revealed aromatic, balanced and fruit-forward wines.
