Hand-harvested grapes from the low-yielding 2023 vintage—characterized by cool, dry conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo extended pressing, natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts in old oak barrels, and lees aging to enhance complexity and terroir expression. As a biodynamic pioneer since 1998 under Olivier Humbrecht, this production yields a pale straw wine with green highlights and remarkable purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e An elegant, vibrant white with intense citrus and smoky granite minerality, reflecting Alsace's granitic terroir. The nose reveals lime zest, green apple, white flowers, and hints of wet granite and smoke. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and tense, with racy acidity, fine texture, and flavors of lemon pith, quince, and chalky minerality, leading to a long, saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2023 Riesling Roche Granitique earned 94 points from James Suckling for its vibrant energy and precise structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing and Cellaring\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas.
