Tasting of the Riesling

Often called “the King of the Alsace wines ”, the Riesling is a developing wine of a large smoothness of the citrus fruits flavours (lemon-yellow, grapefruit.) and of flowers (white flowers, lime…).

The Riesling is particular because according to the ground where it evolves, it develops mineral flavours such as the stone with rifle, the flint… or “petrol” taste.
