Riesling Vendanges Tardives

Riesling Vendanges Tardives – an Exceptional Wine from Alsace

Riesling Vendanges Tardives is a remarkably fine sweet white wine, made from grapes harvested later in the season, when they reach optimal ripeness. This unique process allows for the full concentration of aromas and sugars to be captured, thanks to over-ripening or noble rot, often favored by a sunny late season. These particular conditions give rise to a prestigious, rich, and opulent wine, recognized as one of Alsace’s great specialties.

Riesling Vendanges Tardives comes from a silty-sandy terroir, enriched by a strong presence of pebbles, which brings a beautiful minerality and a unique structure to the wine. Cultivated in a sustainable vineyard, it adheres to a sustainable and qualitative approach, certified High Environmental Value (HVE).
