Domaine Etienne Simonis Alsace Riesling 2017

Presentation of Domaine Etienne Simonis Alsace Riesling 2017

On this vintage, Etienne Simonis highlights the typicality of Riesling, an emblematic grape variety of his region of Alsace , while respecting the principles of Biodynamics . The color is clear and brilliant, yellow with slight green reflections. The nose of this Alsace Riesling from Domaine Etienne Simonis is very expressive with citrus fruits, lime and a fine mineral sensation. On the palate, we find the very aromatic character of the nose with a beautiful tangy liveliness which makes the wine very pleasant and reveals its minerality. A good deal in the region!

History of the estate

It is since the 17th century that the family Simonis cultivates its vines in Ammerschwihr, in Alsace. Today it's Etienne Simonis who is at the head of the family estate of 7 hectares fully certified in Biodynamics (DEMETER) since 2011 (although chemicals have not been used since 2000). THE white wines from Alsace being strongly influenced by their terroirs and their grape varieties, Etienne Simonis offers a wide range of wines that are very different from each other. That you are rather Riesling , Pinot Gris or Gewurztraminer you will definitely find the wine you need! The domain Etienne Simonis also produces an excellent Riesling Grand Cru Kaefferkopf and a confidential Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tarvives for the most demanding enthusiasts!
