Description
The Beyer family have been making wines in Alsace since 1580, which means that they have been through each of the 6 nationality changes (between Germany and France) that the region has experienced in the last three hundred years. One of the lasting benefits of the alternating ownership of the region is that it has seen German grapes that were historically made in sweeter styles crafted in a dry French style. Alsace has also maintained the German practice of putting the varietal on label. Riesling from Alsace is typically dry, with citrus tones, superb body, and a mineral driven core.
