Kuentz-Bas Riesling Trois Chateaux Bio Alsace 2018

Kuentz-Bas Riesling Trois Châteaux Bio Alsace 2018 is an organic white wine from the renowned Kuentz-Bas winery in Alsace. This wine is made exclusively from Riesling grapes from carefully selected plots around Eguisheim and Husseren-les-Châteaux. These areas are known for their chalky and marly soils, which contribute to the Riesling's distinctive minerality and aging ability.

“Trois Châteaux” refers to the three medieval castles that stand majestically above the vineyards and represent the area’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

Appearance: The wine has a clear, straw yellow color with a slight golden hue.
Scent: It has an elegant aroma with notes of lime, green apples, white flowers, wet stones and a slight hint of petroleum, indicating beginning to ripen.

Although 2018 was a warm vintage, this wine retains its freshness thanks to the high location of the vineyards and the producer's style.
