Kreydenweiss Kastelberg Riesling Grand Cru (2005)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

93/100 PP

'Very intense apple, tropical fruit as well as lemon and orange oil aromas raise from the glass of the straw-yellow colored 2005 Riesling Grand Cru Kastelberg. Rich, concentrated, and firmly structured Riesling with power and complexity but also elegance. Very pure and mineral on the palate the massive 2005 is juicy and provided with a very good tannin structure whereas lemon and orange oil flavors along with some nicely bitter aromas dominate the persistent finish. 2005 was a good and warm but finally also fresh vintage, says Antoine Kreydenweiss remembering: 'We harvested very quickly in-between of 14 days to get the right maturity.“'

'The winery is located in Andlau, in Alsace, between Strasbourg and Colmar, in the area called Piemont des Vosges. Nestled at the bottom of the mountains, the vineyard has the benefice of a continental climate and the soils are based on a mosaic of terroirs which are completely different from each other in term of geology : pink sandstone (g.c. Wibelsberg), black slate (g.c. Kastelberg and blue slate (Clos du Val d'Eléon and Clos Rebberg) and marls and limestone (g.c. Moenchberg).
Marc Kreydenweiss transmitted his passion of the wine, terroirs and biodynamical to his children. Antoine Kreydenweiss took over the management of the vineyard in 2007 who is accompanied by his wife Charlotte, their daughters Zoe, Lilou and Leonie, the whole team and his horse.  Together they show the same passion : create wines with personality and reveal soul of each terroir.
The winery covers 13.5 hectares of vineyard, including 3 Grand Crus of Andlau: Wiebelsberg, Moenchberg and Kastelberg. A new grand cru is now part of the terroir diversity of the domaine: the Kirchberg in Barr.
The winemaking is based on natural methods, with the respect of the equilibrium of each wine.'
