RIESLING RESERVE ALSACE WILLM 2022 DESCRIPTION

The Riesling Reserve of the Alsace Willm winery is a delicate, mineral and subtle white wine produced in Eguisheim, an Alsatian town in north-eastern France. This label is made from 100% Riesling grapes from vineyards located between 200 and 400 meters above sea level and characterized by strong temperature variations between day and night that can transfer to the wine all the aromatic finesse often found in wines of this region. The vines are reared with the espalier method on granite soils, with a very variable geological profile, with soils of calcareous clayey matrix and rich in minerals. The winery is a historical reality founded in 1896 by the Willm family who, besides being the first Alsatian company to export to the United States, is a true point of reference for the territory thanks to its sensitive approach that allows every year to sprout healthy grapes of excellent quality thus giving rise to very clean, fresh and precise expressions.

Alsace Riesling Reserve by Alsace Willm is produced with carefully selected grapes and harvested by hand in the first half of October. The grapes, taken to the cellar, are pressed and pressed softly, thanks to a pneumatic press, and then perform alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel containers for at least four weeks. This is followed by a maturation on fine yeasts of about 2/3 months after which the wine is stabilized at cold, gently filtered and racked in stainless steel containers for at least 6 months before being bottled and finally ready for marketing.

The Reserve Riesling by Alsace Willm has a bright straw yellow colour. The nose shows intense aromas of white fruits and citrus fruits, including apple, peach, lemon and orange peel, herbaceous and floral notes of white flowers, then closes with hints of mineral rock and light sensations of hydrocarbons. In the mouth it is dry, lively, concentrated and balanced, characterized by a great mineral freshness that gives pleasure to the sip. This Riesling from the Alsace Willm winery is a white of great personality and character, with a beautiful expression of fruit that, perfectly balanced by the acidic note, makes it truly elegant.
