Albert Boxler Riesling Reserve 2022

The vineyards of Domaine Albert Boxler are situated on soils composed mainly of granite, schist, and sandstone. These mineral-rich soils play a crucial role in the structure and aromatics of the Riesling by promoting the development of intense aromas and pronounced minerality. The cool climate of the region, combined with the steep slopes, allows for a slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in high concentration and complexity in the wine.

The Riesling Reserve 2022 displays a clear straw-yellow color with slight greenish reflections. The wine is medium-bodied, with an impressive balance between freshness, fruit, and minerality. The vibrant acidity provides invigorating freshness, keeping the wine youthful and energetic, while the well-integrated fruit and minerality contribute to an elegant structure. This Riesling is versatile and pairs beautifully as an aperitif or with a variety of dishes, such as seafood, fish, Asian cuisine, or light cheeses.

The vines for the Riesling Reserve 2022 are on average 30 to 50 years old and deeply rooted in mineral-rich soils. Domaine Albert Boxler manages its vineyards according to sustainable and organic principles to preserve the quality of the grapes and the health of the soil. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently vinified to retain the wine’s aromatic complexity and structure. The wine ages on fine lees, adding additional complexity and a fine, creamy texture.
