Cuvée Frédéric Emile is always from two Grand Cru vineyards above the twon of Ribeauvillé: Geisberg and Osterberg. With maturity, it develops extraordinary depth and complexity, with enticing aromas of candied lemon peel, lime marmalade, quince, pineapple, chamomile and honey. Fabulously satisfying, its rich texture is kept fresh by zesty acidity and enlivened by intriguing notes of beeswax, pine forest, pineapple and lemon. The wealth of fruit character creates an impression of sweetness, however this is an illusion: it is in fact pretty much bone dry. Gloriously ready to enjoy now, this could be cellared for longer if desired.

Winemaking
The grapes are always picked by hand as late as possible in order to achieve maximum ripeness and pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice runs into the cellar by gravity and clarifies naturally prior to fermentation. The juice ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature for 3-4 weeks. The wine is vinified to complete dryness.
Press Review
96/100 - This is a gorgeously matured dry Riesling classic from Ribeauvillé that drinks perfectly today and pairs with many kind of dishes. The wine has an intense citrus color and opens with a very clear, deep, dense and aromatic bouquet of dried fruits along with herbal and mineral aromas. Full-bodied, pure and elegant, yet complex and mineral on the palate, this is a silky textured but well-structured dry Riesling with intense and persistent fruit, fine tannins and lingering salinity. Bottled April 2009, this is a great dry Riesling blend from the Grands Crus Geisberg and Osterberg. Drink 2017-2038
