This late harvest (Vendange Tardive) Gewurztraminer is a pale green colour with elegant aromas and sophisticated palate.
Jean-Claude Riefle's wines are a reflection of the dry micro climate found in their vineyards. Dry to off-dry Gewurztraminer with lush, fat fruit, it is a complex and richly satisfying white wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Today the estate is run by Jean-Claude Riefle producing wines that are a reflection of the dry micro climate found in their vineyards. This Pinot Blanc has an almost cheesy, spicy nose. Initially fairly sweet on the palate, it becomes drier towards the finish with exotic grapefruity, pineappley fruit and good counterbalancing acidity. (12 x 75 cl)
An Alsace aristocrat: as fine a Riesling as you will ever find. Rich and petrolly on the nose, ripe fruit in the glass and a peacock's tail of a finish. Simply superb. (12 x 75 cl)
Jean-Claude Riefle's wines are a reflection of the dry micro climate found in their vineyards. Here the wines are characterised by the concentration of fruit without being over alcoholic and this has produced a creamy, rich and delicate nose for this Cremant D'Alsace. Made from Pinot Blanc this crisp, light structured and very pleasant wine is showing apple and peach characters that are both zingy and fresh. (6 x 75 cl)
