This cooperative was started by a group of small producers in hunawihr in 1954, but today has member growers throughout the alsace heartland. Winemaking is headed by nicolas garde, an alsace born winemaker, schooled in burgundy and new zealand. A pale straw yellow, this wine is a classic alsace riesling, showing ripe pear and peach fruit, braced by a steely acidity. Clean and pure on the palate, finishing with a citrussy freshness. Drink now or within the next 5 years, with seafood or creamy fish dishes.
