Tasting Notes
'The Kastelberg is one of the best soils we have in Alsace,' says Antoine Kreydenweiss adding 'this is, according to my father Marcel, the Montrachet of Alsace. The Rieslings from the Kastelberg can age for decades. ' ... Very clear, pure, fresh and aromatic, the 2013 Riesling Grand Cru Kastelberg exhibits a very floral/herbal, stony and white stone fruit aroma on the concentrated nose. Medium-bodied, very pure and delicate but also intense, full of tension and a lot of salt this is a fresh and bone dry yet very complex and firmly structured Riesling with grippy tannins and a long, long finish. Bottled in May 2014 the 2013 is still very young but promising and could possibly take the same direction as the gorgeous 2008. 'We go for a good maturity here but no over-maturity,' Antoine lectures. '2013 was a late vintage and a late harvest. However, we just picked at the right time so the wine is quite moderate in its alcohol weight.' Indeed, the alcohol content of 12.5% is very digest
