TASTING NOTES
Gustave Lorentz's Riesling Dry Réserve 2024 is a vibrant dry white from Alsace, expressing the purest character of the Riesling grape grown on the clay-limestone hills of Bergheim. Perfect for lovers of mineral, fresh wines with a gastronomic soul, this Alsace Riesling 2024 blends centuries-old biodynamic tradition with a balanced, promising vintage. Founded in 1836, Maison Gustave Lorentz is now in its seventh family generation, managing 30 hectares of certified organic vineyards in Alsace, including the prestigious Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim. A fascinating fun fact? They were biodynamic pioneers, with rigorously hand-harvested grapes and steel vinifications that preserve the intact purity of Alsatian Riesling, highlighting the unique terroir of this region. The 2024 vintage in Alsace proved ideal for Riesling: a warm but moderate summer favoured optimal ripeness, delivering crunchy acidity, intense aromas, and zero residual sugar for a dry, age-worthy, persistent structure that makes this Réserve an absolute excellence. In Bergheim, at the heart of central Alsace, the clay-limestone and granitic hillside soils create the perfect terrain for mineral, structured Rieslings, with a microclimate infusing saline, citrus notes and inimitable freshness, making this wine a symbol of the finest Alsace AOC. Pure and dry thanks to complete fermentation, the Alsatian Riesling here shines with aromas of lime, green apple, and white flowers, refreshing acidity, and a clean finish that crowns it king of Alsace's dry whites, versatile and uncompromising. On the eye, pale luminous straw yellow; on the nose, refined with citrus, white flowers, aromatic herbs, and chalky minerality; on the palate, it attacks with vivacity and freshness, balanced by lime, Granny Smith apple, salinity, and a persistent fruity close. It pairs perfectly with raw fish tartare, shellfish, seafood, sushi, or grilled white meats, elevating aperitifs and marine dishes thanks to its mineral freshness.
