Winemaker's Notes:

Dryness, race and delicately fruity, it offers a bouquet of a large smoothness with sometimes mineral or floral nuances, which make an excellent wine of guard of it. Recognized like one of best white type of vines in the world, it is a wine of gastronomy par excellence.

The historians think that it is about the "Argitis minor" of the Romans. One finds it in Alsace as of the 15th century after a hook by the Rhineland and OrlEanais! Nearer to us, the vine growers names it "Nice Aromatic" (Edle gewurtztraube). Before the Revolution, it is limited to some fields of exceptions, only truly able to make it mature. In Beblenheim, my large parents planted it on Burgreben (vine of the castle) and Hagenschlauf, these two soils limestones offer to our Riesling in their youth of beautiful floral and citronnes flavours. Ageing exalte their minerality and brings a mielleuse key and suave. Its agreement with fine fish, the seafood and the delicious cock with the Riesling is remarkable.
