The Grand Cru Sommerberg is known for its steep, south-facing slopes situated on granite and sandy clay soils. These soils provide ideal conditions for growing Riesling, offering excellent drainage and allowing the vines to root deeply, resulting in pronounced minerality in the wine. The unique microclimate of this site promotes slow and even ripening of the grapes, leading to the development of complex aromas and a fine structure.
The Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg "Jeunes Vignes" 2022 displays a clear straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with an impressive balance between vibrant freshness and structured minerality. The youthful energy of the vines is evident in the lively acidity and fresh fruit flavors, enhanced by the typical minerality of the Sommerberg terroir. This Riesling is excellent as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with dishes such as seafood, fish, sushi, or fresh salads.
