Riesling Grand Cru Brand "K" 2017 - Albert Boxler

Tasting notes
This is from the Kirchberg section of Brand, from east-facing 70-year-old vines at about 350 m, and at present is aromatically more restrained that the previous wine: tree sap and spring breezes. 
The 2017 Riesling Grand Cru Brand opens intensely fruity and floral on the nose, with a very delicate granite note that comes along as a kind of perfume. Silky, round and charming on the palate this is a lush, salty, well-structured and tannic Brand with lingering salinity.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Albert Boxler, from whom the domaine takes its name, was the grandfather of current owner and winemaker Jean and was the man who took the initiative in bottling his own wines just after the Second World War. The label that is still in use today was painted at that time by Albert's cousin.

They produce riesling, pinot gris, pinot blanc, gewürztraminer, sylvaner and muscat and also make some fine sparkling Crémant wines using traditional methods and ageing in oak foudres

The Sommerberg hillside terminates in Jean’s driveway, making it easy to basically live in the vineyards, ensuring exceptionally healthy fruit year after year. After harvest, the wines are vinified and aged in old foudresin a small cellar underneath the family home until bottling.
