Pfaff Riesling Zinnkoepfle Alsace Grand Cru AOP

Located at the heart of the vineyard of Alsace since 1957, Cave des Vignerons de Pfaffenheim has developed a taste for quality and innovation in line with its traditions and values.

Zinnkoepflé soils sits upon shelly Muschelkalk limestone strewn with sandstone inclusions which provide aromatic finesse and remarkable acidity – the base for the superb intensity of these terroir wines. Zinnkoepflé produces wines marked by generous maturity which translates on the palate into aromas of candied fruit and toasted notes. Simultaneously, the mouth structure reveals complex freshness. This duality bestows weight, finishing with a subtle, sweeping and highly precise minerality.
In particolar, Riesling unfolds notes of citrus fruit peel giving a succulent sensation, a mere prelude to intense minerality.
