Justin Boxler, Riesling "Empreintes" Alsace, France 2022

100% Riesling from 50 year old vines.

This fresh, distinguished Riesling is a blend of different parcels with a granitic dominance on the sunny soils of Niedermorschwihr, Katzental, Truckheim and Ingersheim.

Vinification is done in century-old wooden foudres, and Florent and Charlotte seek a drier, more old-school style (recalling Léonard Humbrecht or Théo Faller in the 1970s) but still deeply-flavored, tightly-wound, and indicative of serious time spent in the vines.

Farming is certified organic.
