Albert Boxler Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg "Jeunes Vignes" 2022

The Grand Cru Sommerberg is known for its steep, south-facing slopes situated on granite and sandy clay soils. These soils provide ideal conditions for growing Riesling, offering excellent drainage and allowing the vines to root deeply, resulting in pronounced minerality in the wine. The unique microclimate of this site promotes slow and even ripening of the grapes, leading to the development of complex aromas and a fine structure.

The Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg "Jeunes Vignes" 2022 displays a clear straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with an impressive balance between vibrant freshness and structured minerality. The youthful energy of the vines is evident in the lively acidity and fresh fruit flavors, enhanced by the typical minerality of the Sommerberg terroir. This Riesling is excellent as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with dishes such as seafood, fish, sushi, or fresh salads.

The "Jeunes Vignes" in the Grand Cru Sommerberg come from vines that are on average 15 to 25 years old. These younger vines bring freshness and vibrancy to the wine while preserving the characteristic minerality and depth of the Sommerberg terroir. Domaine Albert Boxler manages these vineyards using organic and sustainable methods to maintain the quality of the grapes and the health of the soil. The wine is traditionally vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and precise fruit aromas of the Riesling.
