Description

The Riesling Reserve Alsace AOC from Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr is a wine that embodies the elegance and purity of the famous Alsace region. Produced with Riesling grapes grown in the renowned terroirs of Alsace, this wine stands out for its mineral freshness and aromatic intensity. In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow color, while the nose reveals delicate floral hints, flint, and citrus notes evoking lemon and lime. The palate is vibrant, balanced between sharp acidity and softness, with a persistence that leaves a pleasant taste of white-fleshed fruit and a slightly saline nuance.

The aging method involves careful maturation in stainless steel tanks that preserve the varietal typicity without weighing it down, enhancing the freshness and structure. This Riesling pairs well with refined fish dishes, shellfish, and Asian cuisine with delicate flavors, offering a refined and harmonious tasting experience.

Winery history

The local vineyard has documented roots dating back to the 12th century. The modern cooperative was founded after World War II when local winegrowers joined forces to vinify and sell their wines. The cellar is listed in its official sources as established in 1954. Over the years the cooperative has expanded its activities — including the acquisition of a maison de négoce cited in specialized sources — and has established itself in the production of Grands Crus, Crémants and late-harvest wines.

Production philosophy

The winery states that it vinifies with respect for the diversity of the local terroirs, using only grapes from its own vineyards; it operates as a small-scale cooperative with a strong focus on the quality and typicity of its vineyard parcels, coordinated by an in-house winemaker.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located around Hunawihr and in the surrounding communes, on predominantly limestone terroirs with a geological mosaic typical of Alsace. The winery vinifies grapes from several Lieu-dit and various Grands Crus, including Rosacker, Froehn, Sporen, Schoenenbourg and Osterberg.

Awards and recognitions

Highlighted by the trade press as one of the leading cooperatives in Alsace; cited in national wine guides for several wines and for the Crémant and Grands Crus cuvées.
