Agathe Bursin Riesling Bollenberg 2022

12% abv

Vol- 75cl

Fresh, fruity aromas of white flowers, combined with a bowl of tropical fruits. The taste is almost medium bodied and slightly off-dry, offering generous fruit and charming freshness. Very useful on the table. Although a mix of several co-planted grapes, the wine forms a whole.Being one of the top Rieslings of Alsace, this deeply amazing wine offers aromas of ripe stonefruit, baked apples, citrus and meraingue. The taste is silky, with layers of sublime fruit. Not a race of bitterness, but the acidity is unusually high due to the vintage.

Since taking over the family domaine in 2000, Agathe has garnered a reputation as one of Alsace’s “comets in the sky”. Quantities from the 5ha estate are small and demand is high making the wines sell out fast. The vines are located around the village of Westhalten in the south of the Alsace region. Around one third of Agathe’s vines are in the Grand Cru of Zinnkoepflé - reaching up to be Alsace’s highest peak at 420m, with south/south-eastern exposures and wonderfully sheltered - with the remainder in what is known as the Noble Valley. Agathe works this terroir by hand and by heart, organic principals and herbal & biodynamic preparations all contributing to the health and vigour of the vines. This land is tied to Agathe’s experiences from early childhood tasting with her grandmother and grandfather. Production for the 5ha estate, although limited in number of bottles, covers all the noble varieties and styles of the regions and wonderfully exhibits the profound textural weight and verve of the region.
