Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Versigberg

Albert Hertz, Alsace Riesling Grand Cru Pfersigberg

A beautiful, brilliant yellow-green color. The elegant terpene aroma perfectly expresses the terroir's characteristics, with aromas of peach, white flowers, and herbs. The rich, full-bodied flavor has a pleasant delicacy. It has a dry, creamy mouthfeel. The fragrant finish is elegant and deep, making it extremely satisfying to drink.
