Description
Lieu Dit is a term used to describe a small vineyard site within a larger appellation. These sites are subject to even more strict regulations around vine density, pruning, trellising, grape maturity and yields and represent even more precise expressions of a particular terroir, which is especially exciting in the case of a vineyard with the pedigree of Altenbourg.

Tasting Notes
100% Riesling. Mango and lemon fruit with a delicate expression on the nose. Hints of honey on a rounded palate. Score - 89. (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2020)
