Kuentz-Bas Alsace Riesling Tradition 2019 750 ML

Kuentz-Bas In this wine, aromas of green apple and fennel harmonize with savoriness that promises minerality on the palate. The wine delivers on that, along with honeysuckle and a hint of apricot, all well integrated. Despite fruity notes, this wine is defined by its refreshing acidity. Producer Information Winemaking has been part of both the Kuentz and the Bas family histories since the 18th century, and when a son of the Kuentz-Bas Bas family married a Kuentz daughter in 1918, the two families joined forces combining the strongest of the vineyard holdings under one label.Kuentz-Bas Hence the present name, Maison Kuentz-Bas. While many winemakers experiment with stylistic innovations today in Alsace -residual sugar and the use of new oak are two of the more popular – Christian Bas speaks of preserving the traditional, more elegant style of Alsatian winemaking, lively and delicate, with finesse. Kuentz-Bas bottles under two labels. The Cuvee Tradition wines are made from grapes that they purchase. They are vinified in glass-lined tanks to preserve fruit and freshness, and are intended for foudres, and bottled approximately a year following the vintage. The family also has three Grand Cru vineyards, Pfersigberg, Eichberg and Florimont Kuentz-Bas.
