Rittersberg Riesling

Rittersberg Riesling – the Essence of Alsace’s Granite Terroir

Rittersberg Riesling is a true expression of the exceptional terroir of the hillsides below Ortenbourg Castle, located in Scherwiller. From the Rittersberg locality, renowned for its granite soils with 2 micas, this wine benefits from a south-southeast exposure offering optimal sunshine. This geological configuration gives the Riesling a pronounced minerality and unique complexity, a faithful reflection of this exceptional terroir.

Cultivated according to the principles of sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture, Rittersberg Riesling is certified High Environmental Value (HVE), guaranteeing quality and sustainability.
