Kuentz-Bas Grand Cru Riesling "Geisberg" 2021 AOC Alsace 750mL
Kuentz-Bas Grand Cru Riesling "Geisberg" 2021 AOC Alsace 750mL
Geisberg is one of the smallest Grand Cru of Alsace by its size but one of the biggest by its “terroir”. A soil made of limestone and sandstone marls, rich in mass of fallen rocks and dolomite fragments. Steep slopes allow allow the creation of a great “terroir” Riesling, complex and powerful but also a remarkable delicacy.
Harvested by hand, from 70 year old vines, and aged on lees for 10 months in stainless steel before bottling.
Reserved in its youth, the intensity of the nose increases over the years to become very expressive and complex: from ripe yellow fruits to orange zest and acacia flowers. Tasted in 2025, it has a the wonderful freshness and flinty personality you expect from Riesling, but also incredible fruit and flower flavours. Think mango, but across the full spectrum of ripeness from green to yellow to orange to dried. The aromas give a nod to its new Australian home, with distinct wattle and macadamia notes. The finish is remarkable.
Pair with white fish in sauce, crustaceans or other white meats.
